The
Situation in Flushing Edmund G. Love Foreword by Judd Arnett |
In
a nostalgic, yet nimble telling of his boyhood in Flushing, Michigan, Edmund
Love notes that he was born into a world that ceased to exist almost as
soon as he entered it. "In the first twelve years of my life,"
he writes, "rural America was swept away as though it has been a picture
on a blackboard that had suddenly been erased." The Situation in Flushing is a humorous portrait of a place and people that have vanished from the American scene. With his unique brand of satire, Love provides sharp and amusing insight into the events and personalities that shaped his youth. |
"Edmund
Love is a superb storyteller and a fine humorist. No somber introduction
or search for meaning here. Simply an amusing, intelligent, captivating
little book about growing up in a small Michigan town after the turn of
the century. . . . leaves you feeling good for days afterward." —William
L. Blewett, Michigan Academician "This book is enchantment, pure and solid." —The New York Times Book Review |
