Publisher's Notes
A half-mile up, suspended by nylon wings and the promise of good lift, life hanges on a pledge. Richard Bach made that pledge, fifty years before, to return to the frightened child he used to be and teach him everything he had learned from living. His promise went unfulfilled until one day, hovering between earth and sky, Richard encounters Dickie Bach, age nine--irrepressible challenger of every notion Richard embraces....In this exhilarating adventure, Richard and Dickie probe the timeless questions both need answered if either is to be whole: Why does growing spiritually mean never growing up? Can we peacefully coexist with the consequences of our choices? Why is it that only by running from safety can we make our wildest dreams take flight?

Self-consciousness
by John Updike
One of our finest novelists now gives us his most dazzling creation -- his own life. In six eloquent and compelling chapters, the author of THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK and the wonderful RABBIT trilogy gives us an incitingly honest look at the makings of an American writer -- and of an American man.Here is Updike on his childhood, on ailments both horrible (psoriasis) and hilarious (his experiences at the hands of a dentist), on his stuttering, on his feelings during the Vietnam War, on his genealogy, and on that most elusive of subjects, his innermost self. What emerges is a fascinating, fully formed portrait -- candid, often very funny, and always illuminating. "Opulent . . . Charming . . . His best writing, like Nabokov's, is the prose of rapture."-- The New York Times Book Review

Bukowski
by Neeli Cherkovski

"Bukowski" is the only full biography to date of the celebrated cult figure and underground poet and novelist. Cherkovski's longtime friendship with his subject lends a rare intimacy to this critical biography. 19 photos.
