By the Iowa Sea: A Memoir

Autor Joe Blair
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mar 2013
This vivid memoir about the heartbreaks and ecstasies of marriage, fatherhood, and small-town Midwestern life is so raw and true you ll gasp ("O, The Oprah Magazine").
Heralding the arrival of an original American voice, By the Iowa Sea is a wrenching, unsentimental account of the heartbreaks and ecstasies of marriage, fatherhood, and small-town Midwestern life.
After his first cross-country motorcycle trip, Joe Blair believed he had discovered his calling: he would travel; he would never cave in to convention; he would never settle down. Fifteen years later, he finds himself living in Iowa, working as an air-conditioning repairman and spending his free time cleaning gutters, taxiing his children, and contemplating marital infidelity. When the Iowa River floods, transforming the familiar streets of his small town into a terrible and beautiful sea, Joe begins to question the path that led him to this place.
Exquisitely observed and lyrically recounted, this is a compelling and often humorous account of an ordinary man s struggle to live an extraordinary life."
