| "What Time Does The Balloon Go Up?" |
A book to be published by Doubleday in the Fall of 1962 in the June 3, 1962 NY Post article by Sally Hammond.
"It tries to follow life just as it is - sporadic." It begins with a mixed-up boy of 4 overhearing a group of gabbling adults saying things he oughtn't hear. Suddenly the same boy is 16 at a junior prom wearing a new suit with horsehair in the shoulder pads that "all that night were sticking me." In a later chapter, he likens the families to "little solar systems." (There's a footloose uncle who shows up every four years "like one of those far out planets.") |
