Getting Personal: Selected EssaysHarper Collins, 2004 M11 3 - 416 páginas From the man whose name is synonymous with the contemporary personal essay, Getting Personal is a rich and ambitious collection that spans Phillip Lopate's career as an essayist, teacher, film critic, father, son, and husband.
