Childhood centered on his brilliant, beloved, illiterate grandmother who taught him so much, the beauty of Church, school, American movies, and the larger world he read about in his borrowed books. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom there, he continues on to a Beirut lycée, Stanford University, and the presidencies of the New York Public Library, Brown University, and Carnegie Corporation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike Jimmy Carter in \u003ci\u003eAn Hour Before Daylight\u003c\/i\u003e, and in the tradition of Nabokov, Jill Ker Conway, and V. S. Naipaul, he tells us that education is an openness to everything and describes his public and private life as one education after another. This is a love story about life.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Road to Home: My Life and Times | Vartan Gregorian | Paperback | 9780743255653 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks E 1742603","offer_id":48180154138776,"sku":"1742603","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71nB2v1bOnL.jpg?v=1772215319","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/road-to-home-my-life-and-times","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
