Overview

Beginning with a confession (""In a way, this book is a bit of a stunt: a woman who has been writing all her life decides to come out of hiding""), I See You, a collage of fictional with nonfictional stories, might be characterized as a Boomer version of The Pilgrim's Progress, with elements of the Slough of Despond in references to a fatherless childhood in the 50s and the checkered ascent to the Celestial City in later years, from the sidewalks of New York to the squares of Philadelphia.
