It is a sequel to his previous volumes of memoirs; A Walker in the City (1951) and Starting Out in the Thirties (1965).[1] Although not religiously observant, he writes in the memoir: "the Jews are my unconscious."[2] Kazin had previously published a column in The New York Review of Books in 1972, with the same title as the memoir.[3]
