About this product
Product Information
Warm, gentle, funny, sometimes sad, these twelve stories weave common themes into a variety of patterns, each distinctive and yet related to the rest. These themes the humor and folktales of the rural Midwest, the bonds between generations and the friction those bonds create, the tensions between a character's country past and city present are at once archetypically American and specific to each story's particular reality. As the title suggests, many of the stories in"Fishing for Ghosts"have to do with remembrance and loss, and as Richard Brown points out in the book s foreword, it will sometimes be natural for the reader to confuse the narrators with the author. But none of these stories are purely autobiographical; rather, Brown infuses his storytelling with the authenticity of his own experiences, and the result is a narrative voice that is genuine, playful, as rich as the good Missouri soil it springs from, and absolutely his own."

Reviews
Mining a vein that's been tapped by writers from Washington Irving to William Kittredge, this collection should please readers with a bent for rural fiction."" -Publishers Weekly ""Brown, who has also written plays and a novel, possesses a strong sense of place; the reader smells the prairies and walks through the dying small towns with boarded-up windows." -Library Journal "Richard Brown's collection of reminiscences of life in Missouri is full of deeply realized characters and situations. Brown's stories evoke feelings of sadness and joy, regret and loss, and always maintain a strong sense of place." -Northeastern Nevada Historical Society Quarterly, "Brown, who has also written plays and a novel, possesses a strong sense of place; the reader smells the prairies and walks through the dying small towns with boarded-up windows." - Library Journal, "Mining a vein that's been tapped by writers from Washington Irving to William Kittredge, this collection should please readers with a bent for rural fiction." - Publishers Weekly, "Richard Brown's collection of reminiscences of life in Missouri is full of deeply realized characters and situations.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
