BOB OLSON
Out of Print
There is a lot of love, and humor in Bob's stories. A fine read, indeed. For in these stories one can't help but be reminded of one's childhood, the "Mystery of the World," and the question of just how well do we know each other? Just how well do we know ourselves? Read these stories, and come to know the gift again, for truly, to echo Shakespeare, "it is wonderful, wonderful and again, most wonderful." (from the introduction by Bruce Taylor)
