A Wider World Not as Primitive As Bronx Primitive
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Kate Simon truly throws her whole self into her novel, A Wider World: Portraits In An Adolescence. A Wider World is the detailed and enjoyable sequel to Bronx Primitive: Portraits in a Childhood. In Kate Simon's non-elusive description of her horrifying and lesson-teaching adolescence, a grand picture is painted of growing up in the heart of New York City, and what it feels like to be alone while surrounded by so many people. What makes this lenghty prose so amazing is that it's all true! To read Simon's words, knowing that it happened, and that someone can reflect upon their teenage-hood with such grace and dignity, is more than worth the time it takes to read it.
