Grade: B+/B
Notable People: Pete Dexter
Review: I really liked this book- though I thought the second half petered out a bit. Dexter has been around awhile and wrote Deadwood about 15 years ago; I’ve read all his stuff and this one was quite a departure- pretty autobiographical and quite Tom Robbins-like in style. Story of a life- from 1950’s Deep south to Seattle at the turn of the century. A pretty funny and moving book with very short chapters- making it an ideal bedtime read.
