Hearing the train and more,
By "lcampi" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Hear the Train: Reflections, Inventions, Refractions (Hardcover)
This is an excellent volume of work that seamlessly blends essay and fiction, reminding us that history, truth, memory and fiction are often the same thing. The essays and stories, while clearly the outgrowth of one man's experience and imagination, represent the entire breadth of human emotions. There are stories that pivot on comedy and surreality in France, others about work and class structure, and adolescent efforts to identify oneself within a white American culture during the 60s and 70s. There is a lost brother, a conflicted hunter, a naive forest ranger. What the reader gets are layers of complexity buried beneath great stories. The pull of this book is extraodinary. It leaves you wanting more.
