The Whole Five Feet by Christopher Beha
The Whole Five Feet by Christopher Beha, graduate, the MFA in Creative Writing at The New School.
Grove Press, 2009
Barnes & Noble: “In The Whole Five Feet, Christopher Beha turns to the great books for answers after undergoing a series of personal and family crises and learning that his grandmother had used the Harvard Classics to educate herself during the Great Depression. The result is a smart, big-hearted, and inspirational mix of memoir and intellectual excursion that, as Helen Schulman says, ‘deftly illustrates how books can save one’s life.'”
