My Well-Spent Youth

David L. Goodrich

4.9/5 (23558 ratings)

Description:David Goodrich's first thirty years were far from ordinary. His family included a world-famous museum director, a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright/screenwriter, and many notable political radicals. He attended New York's most avant-garde progressive school in its boisterous infancy. After a totally contrasting, old-fashioned prep school scandalized by a teacher's bitter novel, he worked his way through Yale, where prejudice rankled, but the professors were magnificent. He spent joyous summers in a unique seaside village where affluent idlers mingled with crusty lobstermen. An eye-opening editorial stint at Doubleday, the vibrant home of countless bestsellers, was followed by two often-farcical years in the U.S. Army's "more psycho than logical" Psychological Warfare branch. Then came more editorial work at True, the colorful man's magazine, and then-hallelujah-Paris, 1959-60. Goodrich lived in an ancient, working-class neighborhood beloved by Hemingway, wrote about the current use of the guillotine, and befriended a variety of oddballs and expatriates. His Paris adventures included a comical English Channel cruise and a long, violent evening with three of America's greatest writers.
