The Education of Robert Nifkinby Daniel Manus Pinkwater
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Set in 1950s Chicago and conveyed in the form of a college essay, Robert Nifkin details his journey from a mind-numbing high school that smells to the curriculum-free carnival of a private school ruled by bohemians, beatniks, and freaks. Review:"Pinkwater's equally offbeat style make this a treat to read, full of sharp observations and a keen memory for the humiliations of adolescence." KLIATT Review:'\"Pinkwater fans should appreciate the anarchy as well as the irreverent descriptions of high school life.\"' Review:'\"Falling somewhere between Candide and Holden Caulfield, Robert is an inexperienced but savvy teen, with [a] capacity for sardonic observations that will have readers rocking with laughter.\"' About the AuthorDaniel Pinkwater is crazy about writing, and has been trying to learn how to do it for fifty years. He has written about a hundred books, all but two or three of them good. People who own radios may know Daniel Pinkwater as a popular commentator and childrens book reviewer on National Public Radio. At one time, he lived in Los Angeles, went to a fancy private school with the children of movie stars, and ate in The Hat numerous times. He lives with his wife, the illustrator and novelist Jill Pinkwater, and several dogs and cats in a very old farmhouse in New Yorks Hudson River Valley.
