He is the author of four books. His first book, Imagined Places: Journeys Into Literary America was published in 1991 and listed by The New York Times Book Review as one of the notable books of the year. His new book, Dreaming of Columbus: A Boyhood in the Bronx, was published in 1999. Willie Morris, the former editor of Harper's, said, "Michael Pearson is one of our nation's finest memoirists. Dreaming of Columbus...should give him the reputation among American writers he so richly deserves." [extracted from 1999 brochure] |
