Very masculine memoir interweaving his squandered youth with his impending fatherhood. What a character - his descriptions of his wandering life were vivid and his desire to write never wavered. I loved his ramblings in nature his honest soul searching when Rita wanted to have a baby. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

At the age of nineteen, Chris Offutt had already been rejected by the army, the Peace Corps, the park rangers, and the police. So he left his home in the Kentucky Appalachians and thumbed his way north -- into a series of odd jobs and even stranger encounters with his fellow Americans. Fifteen years later, Offutt finds himself in a place he never thought he'd be: settled down with a pregnant wife. Writing from the banks of the Iowa River, where he came to rest, he intersperses the story of his youthful journeys with that of his journey to fatherhood in a memoir that is uniquely candid, occasionally brutal, and often wonderfully funny. As he reckons with the comforts and terrors of maturity, Offutt also discovers what is best in life and in himself. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
