<p> A finely nuanced piece of literature that reaches beyond reflections about growing up and small town life in Missouri. Any reader who came of age in the rural Midwest during the mid-twentieth century will be able to identify with his experiences and learned truths about life and the world. Many who came later will also see much of themselves in the recollection of his boyhood. Vance writes with understated humor, bittersweet reflection, and more than a passing nod to melancholy. --R. Douglas Hurt
