SynopsisPulitzer Prize winner Studs Terkel presents an extraordinary documentary of the 20th century, captured with a haunting voice and cadence that only he could achieve. Wise, contemplative, and wondrous, Coming of Age is Terkel in high form--compassionate, generous, always insightful--"(a) kind of national prose poem, a chorus of cacophonous voices offering a jagged, emotionally charged portrait of our times" (San Francisco Chronicle Book Review)., Traces the transformation in vocation and lifestyle in America during the twentieth century throught the experiences of a very diverse group of elderly men and women.
