5.0 out of 5 stars
Two fingers-on-peas up for Eric Kraft,
By A Customer
This review is from: At Home with the Glynns: The Personal History, Experiences and Observations of Peter Leroy (Continued) (Paperback)
Jump into the world of Peter Leroy. Kraft uses Peter Leroy to meditate beautifully on memory, imagination, longing, and loss while he spins a quirky and poignant tale which makes you wish you could remember every word, you wish you could create like Kraft, you long to spend more time with Peter and his friends, and mourn the loss of their company when the book ends.
Read this book because you'll want to find out what the Glynns have Peter do with the peas.

Sex, Peas, and Politics,
By A Customer
This review is from: At Home with the Glynns: The Personal History, Experiences and Observations of Peter Leroy (Continued) (Paperback)
An advertisement for Troubled Titan Peas hits us with the lines,"How Much Time Do You Have? YOU NEVER KNOW! In these TROUBLED TIMES, when it could be 'here today, gone tomorrow,' you need WHOLESOME food that you can 'heat 'n eat'! You need QUALITY...IN A JIFF!..." And then advertises bomb shelters. Nevertheless, the peas in this book are a gateway to a pubescent sexual fantasy come true. Kraft takes on all of the best parts of growing up in Babbington, NY (or any part of America in the late 50's) with this novel. It's smart, humorous, and as engaging a book as I've ever read.
