About This Item

Hardcover 2006 1st edition in Fine condition although with a few brown spots on the bottom-edge. Fine dust jacket.

Synopsis

The book delves into Bryson's past, telling of his youth growing up in Des Moines, Iowa, during the 1950s and early 1960s. It also reveals the backstory between himself and Stephen Katz, who appeared in A Walk in the Woods and  Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe.  Bryson also describes and comments on American life in the 1950s. The title of the book comes from an imaginary alter-ego Bryson invented for himself in his childhood, who has the ability to vaporize people.
