As millions of radio listeners already know, no one has had a life quite like storyteller Daniel Pinkwater. In this comical collection of memories, Pinkwater tells of how he grew into the beloved figure he is today: a robust genius of the printed page and rotund genie of the radio. He shares a conversation with his father about art school that changed the course of his career, describes his inauguration as a sculptor in a sleazy Chicago art factory, and recounts setting off for a bright center of the American art scene— or at least as close as Hoboken, New Jersey. Finally, we hear as Pinkwater pictures his first true audience, children. Chicago Days / Hoboken Nights is a memoir about how a visual artist turned to writing, only to be hailed as a "comic master" by the Washington Post Book World.

This is a wonderful collection of essays.
I've been carrying around a cassette version of it since the nineties as they were not to be had on disc or digital.
These are some of the best things ever broadcast on radio.

I strongly suspect, both from the math and alternate sources, that this is an abridged version of this work.

The math: In your experience does 168 pages equal 2 hours reading time?

Alternate sources: Dove Audio used to carry Mr. Pinkwater and they bit me before with a reading of half of Borgel, which I say should be marked as abridged but which they marked as unabridged. I checked various sites starting with a search on Dove Audio and found this book with this artwork listed as Abridged.

This is not Audible's fault, the current distributor told them it was unabridged.

Good stuff, what there is of it
