Synopsis
The beloved, bestselling classic that became the movie, A CHRISTMAS STORY -- humorous and nostalgic Americana, reissued in a strikingly designed paperback edition. Before Garrison Keillor and Spalding Gray there was Jean Shepherd: a master monologist and writer who spun the materials of his all-American childhood into immensely resonant--and utterly hilarious--works of comic art. In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash represents one of the peaks of his achievement, a compound of irony, affection, and perfect detail that speaks across generations. In God We Trust , Shepherd's wildly witty reunion with his Indiana hometown, disproves the adage "You can never go back." Bending the ear of Flick, his childhood-buddy-turned-bartender, Shepherd recalls passionately his genuine Red Ryder BB gun, confesses adolescent failure in the arms of Junie Jo Prewitt, and relives a story of man against fish that not even Hemingway could rival. From pop art to the World's Fair, Shepherd's subjects speak with a universal irony and are deeply and unabashedly grounded in American Midwestern life, together rendering a wonderfully nostalgic impression of a more innocent era when life was good, fun was clean, and station wagons roamed the earth. A comic genius who bridged the gap between James Thurber and David Sedaris, Shepherd may have accomplished for Holden, Indiana, what Mark Twain did for Hannibal, Missouri., A collection of humorous and nostalgic Americana stories-the beloved, bestselling classics that inspired the movie A Christmas Story Before Garrison Keillor and Spalding Gray there was Jean Shepherd- a master monologist and writer who spun the materials of his all-American childhood into immensely resonant-and utterly hilarious-works of comic art.

- i***- (23)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI have received this order a few days ago, well before the earliest promised delivery date. The item corresponds to the seller's description: it is in "like new" condition. The transaction was seamless.I am completely satisfied with this purchase. The only peculiar aspect is that I wrote to the seller several times, both before and after ordering, and never received a response. This is at odds with all reviews of this seller.
- b***s (379)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe item is in great shape. As described. It took about 21 days to arrive here in Kansas. Not sure where it shipped from. But free shipping can mean longer wait time -sometimes. It arrive safe in these plastic white shipping bags. *Did purchase another item already because price and suggestion was timely for it. Thanks so much. Good job. Recommended seller! if you don't mind wait time. But get good deal! Thx again!Wills, Trusts, and Estates Administration [ Herskowitz, Suzan D. ] Used (#156354355535)
