Mean Grey Old Morning

Autor Jr. William R. Burkett
en Limba Engleză Paperback
"My old colleague Bill Burkett always knew how to spin a word just right or turn a lovely phrase. And he does that here with an outstanding collection of short stories that take you inside his world as a journalist, hunter, and literary adventurer." - Hollis George, critic and bibliophile "Immolation of someone else's diary was not how I had planned to start my day - it was a mean grey old morning, but I didn't know then that was what to call it ..." From surveillance of a yellow convertible in South Carolina to conversation with a streetwalker on Sunset Boulevard to a visit to Hemingway's grave in Idaho, the writer builds a mural of life in the last half of the twentieth century.

Notă biografică

William R. Burkett, Jr. published his first novel at 18. His first job was as a copy boy for the Florida Times-Union and Jacksonville Journal, but that soon gave way to a position as feature writer. After a tour of duty as an MP in Germany, he resumed his journalistic career. Working in both the States and the Bahamas, he pursued a particular muse - duck hunting. That led to writing for hunting magazines and doing PR for the Washington State Highway Patrol and settlement in the Pacific Northwest where the ducks were plentiful and the fishing was good.
