Beginning with his childhood and youth in Wheeling West Virginia, a period that remains a central theme in this memoir, Hopkins goes on to discuss his life as a victim of polio during the pandemic of the 1930s, his complex relationship with his father, his participation in the famous “Cedar Bar years” of Abstract Expressionism, and his summer life in Cape Cod.
