About the Author:
From Library Journal:
A self-described painter who writes, William Wharton is the pen name for the author of two memoirs—Houseboat on the Seine and Ever After—as well as eight novels—Birdy, Dad, A Midnight Clear, Scumbler, Pride, Tidings, Franky Furbo, and Last Lovers. His works have been acclaimed worldwide and have been translated into over fifteen languages.
Following the disappointing hodgepodge of Scumbler ( LJ 5/1/84), the author of magical Birdy ( LJ 12/15/78) and well-received Dad (5/15/81) is back on track with Pride. Eleven-year-old Dickie Kettleson's family is surviving the Great Depression, with his father returning to work amid labor unrest at corporation ``M.E.'' The times, late 1930s, and the places, urban row houses and parochial school, are remembered in fine detail. Interspersed with the story of the family's growing concern over threats because of Dad's union work is the tale of Sture Modig, strange Swedish farmchild from Wisconsin, now in charge of a lion act. The two stories will meet on the beaches of New Jersey in a hurried but generally satisfying conclusion. Recommended for most fiction collections. Ann H. Fisher, Radford P.L., Va.
