Chex Mix and The King of the Diamond, January 26, 2007
This review is from: Standing ground: Alaska stories, police tales, and things I'd rather not talk about (Paperback)
'I'm not a Tolstoy, just a Chex Mix everyday kind of author', is how Alan White described himself to a young reporter/interviewer. While we need Tolstoy's, I also need the whimsy of Chex Mix writers who return me to the memories of life in rural America. The fast pace of modern society often leaves me weary by the end of the day. Relaxing with stories about Grandpa's pet bass Gully, a child named Hannah, what to do when an arachniphobe faces his greatest fear while fishing in a river, a night as the official police bat catcher in small town rural America, the poignant story of Peaches the deer and fishing with a rural convenience store clerk named Calvin, well it's a satisfying read and just what I need to end my day and remember that the good things are still out there. Thanks Alan!
