Description
Tales of a Mountain Misfit answers to many descriptions—all of them significant and compelling in their own right.
It is an impressive and poignantly honest memoir of a life fully and uniquely lived.
It is a collection of true life tales (okay, perhaps stretched to become ‘tall’ in some cases) told in a delightful style that will often make you laugh, cry or just drop your jaw in amazement.
And it is a genuine contribution to literary Americana. Tales of a Mountain Misfit documents in a personal and engaging way numerous defining events, places and lifestyle transformations in 20th century American culture, including: perhaps the last generation of an Appalachian mountain lifestyle that was impoverished, yet rich in deeply held family values and a profound love of the land; the colorful scene in Washington DC during the Vietnam War era; the evolution of work life to embrace multiple careers; the move away from marriage-for-life to the embracing of multiple intimate relationships; an increased mobility of the American population that embraced multiple places of residence throughout a person’s lifetime; the challenges of various forms of addiction; and finally, the exploration and acceptance of alternative sexual preferences.
