SIGNED EDITION (Growing Up, is Russel Baker's autobiography that describes his atypical life. Starting from humble beginnings in the mountains of West Virginia, Baker weathered a childhood that spanned the entire Depression, and later found success as a big city newspaperman. What was most enjoyable about this book was its genuine authenticity. Baker rattles off no frightening or boring statistics about the Depression. Rather, he writes about life as he saw it, progressively maturing as the book flows along. This, one would argue, is this book's most appealing quality. Baker never comes out to draw attention to himself at any time during the book. He lets the reader know if there was any particular activity that he was adept at, and surprisingly, those passages were surprisingly rare throughout the book)

Críticas:
Praise for Growing Up and Russell Baker "A wondrous book, funny, sad, and strong...[with scenes] as funny and touching as Mark Twain's."--Los Angeles Times Book Review "Lovely haunting prose....[Baker] moves beyond the boundaries of his newspaper column to establish a place for this book among the most enduring recollections of American boyhoods--those of Thurber and Mencken, Aldrich and Twain."--The Washington Post Book World "One of the most heart-warming, inspiring, nostalgic, funniest, best-written books I have ever read."--Ann Landers "[Baker is] a precious national resource."--Neil Postman "The saddest, funniest, most tragical yet comical picture of coming of age in the U.S.A. in the Depression years and World War II that has ever been written."--Harrison Salisbury

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHY
"[Baker is] a precious national resource."—Neil Postman, bestselling author of Conscientious Objections and Amusing Ourselves to Death

"[Baker is] a precious national resource."—Neil Postman, bestselling author of Conscientious Objections and Amusing Ourselves to Death
In this heartfelt memoir by the Masterpiece Theatre host, Pulitzer Prize-winner, and groundbreaking New York Times columnist, Russell Baker traces his youth in the mountains of rural Virginia.
When Baker was only five, his father died. His mother, strong-willed and matriarchal, never looked back. After all, she had three children to raise. These were Depression years, and Mrs. Baker moved her fledgling family to Baltimore. Baker's mother was determined her children would succeed, and we know her regimen worked for Russell. He did everything from delivering papers to hustling subscriptions for the Saturday Evening Post. As is often the case, early hardships made the man.
"Baker has accomplished the memoirists's task: to find shape and meaning in his own life, and to make it interesting and pertinent to the reader. In lovely, haunting prose, he has told a story that is deeply in the American grain."—Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World
