	3	Johnson, Joyce Missing Men: A Memoir New York, New York, U.S.A. Viking Press 2004 0670033103 / 9780670033102 Hard Cover Fine Fine Near-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $24.95. Tight spine, bright pages. 276 pages. Illustrated with photos. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Synopsis: Joyce Johnson's classic memoir of growing up female in the 1950s, Minor Characters, was one of the initiators of an important new genre: the personal story of a minor player on history's stage. In Missing Men, a memoir that tells her mother's story as well as her own, Johnson constructs an equally unique self-portrait as she examines, from a woman's perspective, the far- reaching reverberations of fatherlessness. Telling a story that has "shaped itself around absences," Missing Men presents us with the arc and flavor of a unique New York life from the author's adventures as a Broadway stage child to her fateful encounters with the two fatherless artists she marries. Joyce Johnson's voice has never been more compelling. The New York Times - Kathryn Harrison: The discovery at the heart of Missing Men is not new; instead, it is personal. Lacking any agenda beyond the search for her own truth, Johnson's memoir is quietly successful -- not quiet as in small, but as would be the ideal environment for rumination: uncluttered, well lighted, a high remove offering the benefits of perspective. Biography: Joyce Johnson is the author of three novels, including The Night Café. Her other books include Minor Characters, which was the winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, and Door Wide Open: A Beat Love Affair in Letters, 1957-1958. Price: 6.00 USD
