Wonderful wonderful wonderful! It's basically an oral history project, transcribed and with the interviewer's questions removed so that it creates a seamless memory. As a budding oral historian I would have loved to see the questions that prompted the given responses, but oh well. There are also lovely little line drawings in the margins, done by the author's father.
