Arnold Clickstein was born in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1936. He attended Lynn Public Schools up through grade 10 and went on to graduate Lawrence Academy in Groton. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Minnesota with a B.A. in Psychology and minors in Humanities and Biology. His graduate degree is from Northeastern University with a M.A. in English literature. He pursued post-graduate education at Boston University.
Arnold has been writing fiction for the past forty years, but never attempted to publish much of it. This past fall, he completed a book of short stories entitled, Full Moon, Full Sun. Unfortunately, the publisher (Mcmillan Book Publishers) failed to print the ISBN numbers creating an unusual first page for a published book. The ISBN numbers do exist. Whether the publisher takes the responsibility of honoring its contracts/agreements with me is in the hands of his publisher. Hopefully, you will be able to read it at the beach this summer. In addition, Arnold is writing the third draft of a novel, “The Quardrants of Thanksgiving“. he wrote three years ago.. His goal is to complete it by the end of 2025. Throughout the past year, he read about France during World Wars I and II, the Resistance movement in the second war and the French Jewish community from the Fin de Siècle through the 20th century. In his spare time, he is outlining this exploration for yet another project.
