With dazzling literary agility, Wolff guides us through the surprising, invaluable turns that shaped his path: his victory over the chaos of drink, his open-heart surgery, his life-affirming surrender to the slopes of the Matterhorn, and his transcendent love of family. Long considered a classic, now expanded and back in print after two decades, \u003ci\u003eA Day at the Beach\u003c\/i\u003e shares Wolff's spirited, elegant, and deeply felt observations on an extraordinary life.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Day at the Beach: Recollections (Revised) | Geoffrey Wolff | Paperback | 9780804170093 | Used: Very Good | Memoir 1655411","offer_id":48701119398040,"sku":"1655411","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61h7zML-7oL.jpg?v=1773772533","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/day-at-the-beach-recollections-revised","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
