Freakin' funny

Being from Arkansas, I have seen my share of freaks. Take a look around the South; they are everywhere. Being a Mississippi native, Lewis Nordan, too, has seen his share, but rather than ignore them, as most authors do, Nordan embraces them. The result is "Sugar Among the Freaks," a collection of stories about southern living, most of which contain a freak of some sort. The stories will make you laugh out loud at times and cry inside at others. The end result is that horrible realization that you--the reader--are the truest freak of them all.

Nordan makes you reconsider the obvious.

Lewis "Buddy" Nordan is an excellent author. The stories contained herein are at once thought provoking, stimulating, sometimes funny and sometimes serious. I have re-read them many times. Nordan deals in a reality which is sometime his, sometimes yours... (When in fact you can grasp it.) Though it is sometimes a macbre world, it always makes sense. From the hidden Elvis suit to the midgets, Nordan makes you feel comfortable, only to surprise you. This collection is fabulous in my opinion, but it is hard to be specific as to why, because that is the style. Read it...You'll be better for it. Nordan's southern roots run deep and there is a story to tell there wheter it be part fiction and part non-fiction, or a delicious mix of the two. A good book!
