A Step from Death
A Memoir
LARRY WOIWODE

“[Woiwode] brilliantly weaves strands of his writing life, his teaching life and his family struggles into a colorful chronicle of his journey from childhood to adulthood . . . Woiwode addresses his memoir to his son, Joseph, as a way of coming to terms with his failures to recognize how deeply his own father’s identity has become his own.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
