Description

Oppen Porter thinks he s dying. (He s not.) From his hospital bed, with tape recorder in hand, he unspools his tale for the benefit of his unborn son, the tale of his forty-day journey from innocence to experience, from self-described slow absorber to man of the world. This is his astonishing, * laugh-aloud funny, ** crisp, *** delightful, **** indelible ***** story.
