Customer Reviews

Read the book and felt deeply refreshed.

I feel a little inadequate writing a review of this book - think of this as a letter of appreciation. I just completed reading these ten stories and found them all very touching and masterful. There is much here that I need to read again and consider more thoughtfully . It is a little scary to me that anyone can be as perceptive as this author. Certain things you can only see from certain angles, and you are almost surely never going to find those angles on your own... you need help. I felt closer to finding a path to some of those angles here. I read to learn and enjoy, but I am rarely able to learn and enjoy as much in one place as I did with this book. One thing that might improve the sale of this book would be to get rid of the stupid reference to Ernest Hemingway on the dust cover. In my mind, it created a false comparison. Frederick Busch's insights are much more humane and free than the dust jacket insight from Hemingway. Read this book.
