The Abracadabra Kid: A Writer's Life by Sid Fleischman

4.0

Fleischman makes narrative and humour as deftly impish and grin-inducing as an abracadabra on stage: his autobio bounces along with the same energy and storyteller's turns as his fiction. Maybe living an authentic life -- learning new curiosities each day -- is exactly what gave him the means to write such good fiction. Life is stranger, after all. Good stories -- Fleischman's life makes a good case for their origin being in living one.
