About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Other Press LLC, 2008. First Edition, First Printing . ARC. New/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Advance Uncorrected Proof. HURRY DOWN SUNSHINE tells the story of the extraordinary summer when, at the age of fifteen, Michael Greenberg's daughter was struck mad. It begins with Sally's visionary crack-up on the streets of Greenwich Village, and continues among other places in the out-of-time world of a Manhattan psychiatric ward during the city's most sweltering months. 'I feel like I'm traveling and traveling with nowhere to to back to,' Sally says in a burst of lucidity while hurtling away toward some place her father could not dream of or imagine. HURRY DOWN SUNSHINE is the chronicle of that journey, and its effect on Sally and those closest to her--her brother and grandmother, her mother and step-mother, and, not least of all, the author himself. New ARC in pictorial wraps.
