  • "YA. Biographical fiction. Young adult fiction. Assigned to write an autobiography, high-school senior Robert Radkovitz instead creates a sound portrait of his life as he remembers it. Looking back, he hears his mother's singing, his grandmother's mysteries, Mexican soap operas, Poe, poetry, and most cherished, the voice of his absent father from a single tape of one of his radio shows. I'm Lenny Guidry and it's request time. A little show we call "The Ghost Raising." Told in a collage of voices, Seek describes Rob's search for his father, a search pursued not through San Francisco's streets, but through the labyrinth of the airwaves. Psychic readers, baseball announcers, pirate DJ's, friends, and teachers join for a rich, ringing aural autobiography that's as joyfully comic as it is compelling. Tune in to this choral symphony, sit back and listen."
