Product Information
Shel's fans will question this book. It is a no-holds-barred memoir that may make some laugh out loud, scream, shout, and cry. And it may forever alter one's view of success. Is this the Silverstein so many have come to know and love? Yes, because it presents his human and humorous side, and goes beyond, into the many hurdles he confronted. Told as a fast-paced narrative, it unveils a spectrum of characters. As a memoir filled with behind-the-scenes anecdotes and insights, it is the first and only close look at the legend and person. Some claim Shel was a genius, a veritable Renaissance Man. Others say he was just another pushy yid. Was he a man of character? Or a caricature of a man he created? Who was the real Shel Silverstein? Very little is known because he was a recluse. At twenty-six he was a flop, at thirty-six a millionaire--the creator of hundreds of cartoons, poems and songs. He was being compared to Jules Feiffer, Dr. Seuss, Maurice Sendak. For the first time this full length memoir reveals the inside story. It reveals scenes of his childhood, his early interests and hobbies, his grade school and high school days, follows him through four colleges and the army, traces his youthful escapades and jobs, the Playboy era and beyond. It draws upon a lifelong friendship to reveal the details of a complex figure of our times.

Reviews
I think Marvin Gold has done a wonderful job of sharing his observations about the enigmatic Shel Silverstein. The anecdotes are all wonderful and colorful, as children making money for the Saturday matinee triple feature at the theater by "dumpster diving" for copper, iron, and other metals that they could sell. As young adults they discovered the joys of crashing wedding receptions where the free booze flowed. On the rare occasions they were challenged, they would glibly remark that "they were with the other side." Although Silverstein and Me is written with much humor and candor, it is clear that Marvin Gold very much misses his old friend. I am glad that he has written this book, and ribald it may be in parts, but it really does bring out exactly who this beloved cartoonist was, and how he reached the pinnacle of his trade. -Simon Barret, Editor, BloggerNews.net, Well done. He was one of my dearest friends and a major contributor to the magazine in its earliest days. -Hugh Hefner, Publisher We love Silverstein & Me . I got to sing "The Slithergadee" and my daughter, Riley Rose, loves Falling Up . I've always been a big fan. -Tommy Smothers My first reaction was, "Jeez! It's a real book!" Secondly, it was fun. And it brought back lots of warm memories for a Chicago-born-and-raised boy. -Earl Cole, humorist, designer, and author, I think Marvin Gold has done a wonderful job of sharing his observations about the enigmatic Shel Silverstein.
