| | MIT Writers presents Stephen Alter |
 | | Stephen Alter has recently completed a memoir, ALL THE WAY TO HEAVEN: AN AMERICAN BOYHOOD IN THE HIMALAYAS, which was published in February 1998 by Henry Holt. |
 | | It is a landscape, and a time, that haunts him still: I miss the place itself, the mountains, the view of the high Himalayas beyond Mussoorie, stretching all the way to heaven. |
 | | Reviewing Stephen Alter's noveL, THE GODCHILD, in the New York Times, Edward Hower has written: "He is a sensitive observer with an unusual ability to see a foreign culture from the inside out, the mountains, the view of the high Himalayas beyond Mussoorie, stretching all the way to heaven." |
