Thank you for this. Hearing you read King's words makes me know what I've missed.
So, I just finished reading his "The Old Man", and am full of emotions. Not being a son, but a daughter, I found this piece both fascinating and familiar---heart-wrenching, funny and sad and glorious.
"I like to think that you could look at those hands and read the better part of The Old Man’s heart." --- Larry L. King
I'm simply gobsmacked, Toni. How the hell you came up with a copy of that story within hours of me dropping this, well... I'm so glad it found a place in you, and love the quote you pulled to share here. It is a fine piece of storytelling and it still feels like a gift. Thank you for such an unexpected note. You are most welcome, of course.
Here's to "women's work," "natural anonymity" and "crippling solitude."
We need to get you on the radio, Mr. David E. Perry.
Thanks for the smile, good sir.
I am now on a hunt to find a copy of this book for myself. I'd also like to humbly submit that your anthology be titled 'So much enchanted gravy'.
I wish you luck and good reading my friend.
Your title idea is a gift.
