Germs A Memoir of Childhood

"[W]hat an odd book this is....[Wollheim's] prose is a verbal equivalent of Pre-Raphaelite painting, crowded with lovingly observed and richly coloured detail, but the scene, although so affectionately rendered, is almost spooky because it contains no people....[B]ecause of the intensity with which a remarkable man has offered us a view of his inner self, I doubt whether anyone who has read it will ever forget it."Wollheim, Richard is the author of 'Germs A Memoir of Childhood', published 2006 under ISBN 9781593761257 and ISBN 1593761252.
