From the man who is practically synonymous with the form of the modern personal essay comes a delightful collection of prose, poems, and never-before-published pieces that span his career as an essayist, novelist, poet, film critic, father, son, and husband. Organized in six parts (Childhood; Youth; Early Marriage and Bachelorhood; Teaching and Work; Fiction; Politics, Religion, Movies, Books, Cities; The Style of Middle Age) Getting Personal tells two stories: the development of Lopate's career as a writer and the story of his life.

Industry Reviews

"Getting Personal makes you feel like you're on a good first date, full of intimate surprises and over way too soon." O the Oprah Magazine "Lopate's slightly ironic tone flavors an easygoing, good-humored, conversational style." New York Times Book Review"
