A bestselling classic of humorous and nostalgic Americana and the basis of the movie A Christmas Story.Before Garrison Keillor and Spalding Gray there was Jean Shepherd: a master monologist and writer who spun the materials of his all-American childhood into immensely resonant—and utterly hilarious—works of comic art. Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories is a universal (and achingly funny) orchestration of Midwestern puberty rites, from the gut-wrenching playground antics of one Delbert Bumpus, to the supernal glow surrounding unapproachable high school beauty Daphne Bigelow, to the memorable disaster that was Shepherd's (and everyone else's) junior prom.A comic genius who bridges the gap between James Thurber and David Sedaris, Shepherd may have accomplished for Holden, Indiana, what Mark Twain did for Hannibal, Missouri.

Back in the late 1960s when the title story, Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories, came out in Playboy I read it there - yes I did actually read things in Playboy! But I'd never read the other Shepherd stories collected in this book. I have now and they're all wonderful. Shepherd was a brilliant writer - able to paint a word picture like few writers I know. His stories tell of growing up in a working class town in the mid-west around the late 1930s. Shepherd's real talent here is making experiences that, objectively, sound really awful come across as fun and funny. He makes a grueling car trip at the start of the annual family vacation sound like a delightful, funny, adventure when, in reality, it would have been torture for anyone experiencing it at the time. So the stories are mostly humorous - usually very much so. But he can be poignant as well. The most affecting story is The Return of the Smiling Wimpy Doll in which he writes as an adult who has just received a big box of his old toys from his mom who was cleaning out the basement of the hold home. As he goes through these, one by one, each brings back a particular story or event from his childhood. I laughed out loud several times. But I teared up several times too.
