I Thought My Father Was God

And Other True Tales from NPR's National Story Project

About this book

In 1999, Paul Auster and National Public Radio's Weekend All Things Considered programme asked listeners to send in true stories, to be read on-air as part of the National Story Project. The response was overwhelming : everyone, it seemed, had a story to tell. True Tales of American Life gathers 180 of these stories in one extraordinary volume.
