Notes

Description
Jean Shepherd was one of America's favorite humorists, his most notable achievement being the creation of the indefatigable Ralphie Parker and his quest for a BB gun in the holiday classic A Christmas Story. But he was so much more, a comic Garrison Keillor-like figure whose unique voice transcended the airwaves and affected a whole generation of nostalgic Americans. A Fistful of Fig Newtons is classic Jean Shepherd-sidesplittingly funny and sardonically irreverent. It is a brilliant comic assessment of American life-all of them delivered in Jean Shepherd's witty, classy, unforgettable style. -- from Amazon.
