Let Me Finish

Roger Angell

Roger Angell has developed a broad and devoted following through his writings in the New Yorker and as the leading baseball writer of our time. Turning to more personal matters, he has produced a fresh form of autobiography in this unsentimental look at his early days as a boy growing up in Prohibition-era New York with a remarkable father, a mother who was a founding editor of the New Yorker and a famous writer stepfather, E. B. White.

Intimate, funny and moving, Angell remembers eccentric relatives, his childhood love of baseball and his vivid colleagues at the New Yorker. Infused with both pleasure and sadness, this disarming memoir also evokes a sensuous attachment to life’s better moments.

Roger Angell (New York) joined the New Yorker as senior fiction editor in 1962. He is the author of several celebrated baseball books and a short-story collection, and was the editor of Nothing But You: Love Stories from the New Yorker.
