This memoir is about more than what happens, though what happens is quite a lot. It's about a young man in search of a life, in search of himself. It's about love found and lost. It's about all of us. I love it. -- Diane Keaton So thrilling. My Young Life describes a specific period, but it also evokes the timeless fascination with the Romantic life. -- Steve Martin

A sweet, openhearted, guileless, and deeply moving account of his formative years, one that will resonate with anyone who has undergone the process of trying to become an artist. -- ""Luc Sante, author of The Other Paris"" A wonderfully raw story of city boy's transformation into a writer. -- ""Publishers Weekly"" Every page crackles. This is a lush, compelling, and rip-roaring portrait of a young artist making his way through the world. -- ""Emma Cline, author of The Girls"" In writing his early life [Tuten] turns what could be an act of narcissism-speaking of himself-into one of sparkling generosity. -- ""Literary Hub"" It's about a young man in search of a life, in search of himself. It's about love found and lost. It's about all of us. I love it. -- ""Diane Keaton, actor and New York Times bestselling author"" So thrilling. My Young Life describes a specific period, but it also evokes the timeless fascination with the Romantic life. -- ""Steve Martin, American actor, comedian, producer, musician, and New York Times bestselling author"" The eloquent story of an adolescent in love with women and art, of a naive young man exploring the world of privilege, culture, and seduction-who has nothing going for him except ardor. -- ""Edmund White, PEN/Saul Bellow Award-winning author"" Tuten's gently self-deprecating yet humorous reflections cover the linked adolescent preoccupations with creative venturing and romantic/sexual adventuring...A story that is at once his own while also being universally familiar. -- ""Booklist"" Tuten's memoir of growing up in the Bronx is passionate and rueful, and at times, hilarious...A masterful tale of the long journey from Arthur Avenue to the world of art and artists in Alphabet City. -- ""David Salle, artist and author of Debris"" Tuten's prose is imbued with exuberance, unbridled lust for experience, for love, and for the touching the most elusive and fragile-the human heart. -- "" A. M. Homes, author of The End of Alice""
