Oliver La Farge's frank and honest personal narrative is a typical life of one born into the easy world of Newport, New York, Groton, and Harvard, dumped into the melting pot of the Great Depression, and then slammed up against the global war. His purpose \"to record the America of one individual\" and to set down the raw material from which the writer derives the finished product he offers to the world, is vividly fulfilled in this book. In an Appreciation appearing in this new edition, John Pen La Farge says: \"In his autobiography, \"Raw Material,\" Father wrote a superior account of one man's life. As Mother pointed out, it was superior because it was not a mere accounting of what, when, how, and in what order, rather, it was the account of how the raw material of one boy grew into a man, a man whose life both displayed and sought out true integrity.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oliver La Farge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0865346739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780865346734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunstone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.59d","brand":"Oliver La Farge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44365027082495,"sku":"9780865346734","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31e8b76a-bc44-436a-9c31-08ba41f60832.jpg?v=1697056209","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/raw-material-oliver-la-farge-9780865346734","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
