About this listen
As millions of radio listeners already know, no one has had a life quite like storyteller Daniel Pinkwater. In this comical collection of memories, Pinkwater tells of how he grew into the beloved figure he is today: a robust genius of the printed page and rotund genie of the radio. He shares a conversation with his father about art school that changed the course of his career, describes his inauguration as a sculptor in a sleazy Chicago art factory, and recounts setting off for a bright center of the American art scene— or at least as close as Hoboken, New Jersey. Finally, we hear as Pinkwater pictures his first true audience, children. Chicago Days / Hoboken Nights is a memoir about how a visual artist turned to writing, only to be hailed as a "comic master" by the Washington Post Book World.

But disappointingly this is only a small excerpt of the book. Many more recordings of stories from this book are floating around the Internet, and were in the version I had on tape years ago, but aren't included in this audiobook. Most of the biggest gems aren't here, meeting the pickle you can't eat, most of his adult life including his time as a dog trainer, many stories about his father such as translating his strange speech, amateur film making or being forced to smoke a whole packet of tobacco, and many many more.
