When the woman Jake Massry lives with leaves him for another man because he can't succeed as a writer, and his Old World father, on his deathbed, orders him to get a "real" job, Jake, to get his head straight, hits the highways of America in his worn-out VW bus Old Bones in search of himself and his country. It's Spring 1974--prices are spiraling upward and President Nixon is embroiled in the Watergate fiasco. As he travels from place to place in Old Bones (or rather pushes him), Jake meets a colorful cast of characters of sexy women, gays, born-again Christians, philosophers, racists, bullies and Gary Morse, a 19-year-old hitchhiker who possesses a large "red ruby" given to him by a young heiress.

What is the writer's method? How does she or he get strings of inspired words down on a page or onto a monitor screen? Not very damn well if you're Ben Halaby, filled with dedication but suffering the throes of chronic Writer's Block. The spiritual Kaopectate that gets Ben aflow at long last is Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way (an actual book for those of you who don't know). It's dictum is to begin each day by writing-3-pages-of-anything-that-pops-into-your-head-no-matter-how-mediocre-for-84-days -- morning pages. Through this process, or rather along with it, out from Ben's harvesting mind spring anecdotes from his past, or derivations of same. It doesn't matter! Ben Halaby can write again -- There's hope for us all! Sutton's amusing, wise, and inspirational book is not intended to sell more copies of Cameron's. But, convincing as it is, it just might.

After the Giants moved from New York to San Francisco in 1958, it took them 53 years to win their first World Series in 2010. Incredible . Their next title came in 2012. Miraculous . Then, in 2014, they became world champions again! Magical . Drawn from his personal journal, Joseph Sutton has combined all three of the Giants' World Series seasons into this one book. His unique observations will bring back a flood of memories for Giants fans, both young and old, on how the Giants, underdogs each year, reached the pinnacle of the baseball world three times in five years. What makes this book truly distinct is that it's interwoven with the story of how baseball has influenced Sutton's relationship with his son Ray, from the time Ray was a Little Leaguer through high school. It shows how the game of baseball, ever since its very beginnings, has cemented relationships between fathers and sons, and some daughters, too.

Named a Best Book of the Year by the Seattle Times and Kirkus Review The final novel from a great American storyteller. Donal Cameron is being raised by his grandmother, the cook at the legendary Double W ranch in Ivan Doig’s beloved Two Medicine Country of the Montana Rockies, a landscape that gives full rein to an eleven-year-old’s imagination. But when Gram has to have surgery for “female trouble” in the summer of 1951, all she can think to do is to ship Donal off to her sister in faraway Manitowoc, Wisconsin. There Donal is in for a rude surprise: Aunt Kate–bossy, opinionated, argumentative, and tyrannical—is nothing like her sister. She henpecks her good-natured husband, Herman the German, and Donal can’t seem to get on her good side either. After one contretemps too many, Kate packs him back to the authorities in Montana on the next Greyhound. But as it turns out, Donal isn’t traveling solo: Herman the German has decided to fly the coop with him. In the immortal American tradition, the pair light out for the territory together, meeting a classic Doigian ensemble of characters and having rollicking misadventures along the way. Charming, wise, and slyly funny, Last Bus to Wisdom is a last sweet gift from a writer whose books have bestowed untold pleasure on countless readers.
