"In a dusty afternoon sky the sun has paused. ...Time is a warm stagnant pool in which a sensible man moves as little as possible. The best thing to do is lounge here in the shade and just talk ..... Every small county seat in Tennessee has its Liars Bench, gathering place for local historians, yarn-spinners, and wags ... and they all know how to tell a story." A lovely example of the book - very bright and solid. The jacket has some closed tears and rubbing to edges. A good copy of this highly desirable FWP volume. Dykes, # 330.
