Growing Edge

Growing Edge is the third in a series of autobiography written by the famous mid-century architect Doug Rucker. In his own words;After making eight one hundred-page comedy books with cartoons and humorous essays and giving them to friends and doing enough poetry to fill a four-hundred page book I finally had the desire remember the past and think maybe I could write it. Id tell myself the stories of my life. At the age of sixty-five and prompted by my mothers gift of three tattered family photo albums I was reminded of the past and suddenly wanted to remember everything of that far distant time. I started with my birth. It should organize easily. The outline would be chronological. In remembering everything perhaps I indulged myself too much but you be the judge. When I finished the book after writing about graduating from the University of Illinois I felt perhaps my life story could not be told in a mere three or four hundred pages. It looked very much like there would at least be a LATER STORIES. Doug Rucker
