Confession of a child of the century by Samuel Heather a novel

Finalist for the National Book Award: A witty novel of coming of age during wartime in AmericaIn the words of its "author," Samuel Heather, the Confession is a "comical historical pastoral" that chronicles the struggles of growing up the son of a Midwestern bishop. ("My father's daily work was to be a father. It was excruciating.") Samuel escapes Missouri to attend Harvard, where he gets himself expelled for exploding a footbridge over the Charles River. He is soon sent to fight in Korea and lands in a prison camp. Samuel's picaresque coming of age-by turns both funny and poignant-is truly the.

  • "It begins fine and familiar and hokey and breezy. Heather, son of the Episcopal Bishop of Kansas City, arrives at Harvard in the late Forties, reads books, sleeps with a girl, and is generally unhappy. The confessional habit of the older Heather looking back on all this is not one that encourages us to take it very seriously. --NY Review of Books."
