«Come Back in September» is the oral history of Darryl Pinckney’s literary apprenticeship under Elizabeth Hardwick. A group portrait in eight parts, with Pinckney as participant-observer hovering sometimes about the periphery, sometimes at the center, this book succeeds on many levels: as a portrait of Hardwick and her friendship with New York Review of Books editor Barbara Epstein; as eye-witness account of the cultural history of New York c. 1973-1989; and as self-portrait of Pinckney as he comes of age as author. «Come Back in September» complements Pinckney’s work in other genres, and chronicles his life in relation to that work.
