Eastern Sun, Winter Moon: An Autobiographical Odyssey Paperback - 1995
by Paulsen, Gary
- Used
- Paperback
Like J.G. Ballard's Empire of the Sun and Jerry Kosinski's The Painted Bird, Paulsen's startling, candid tale of innocence under siege provides a powerful vision of the "routine horror of war (as) seen through a child's eyes and memory" (Denver Post)--in this case, the author himself. Photos.
