Clippings from the Vine: Selections from the Published Works of Dayton Lummis

CLIPPINGS FROM THE VINE consists of selections from the author?s seven published books, and concludes with a series of contemporary personal essays, observations and opinions as we enter the Obama Era of hopefully positive change. Ranging from Coast to Coast, all over the Inter-mountain West, and covering a period of almost sixty years, the author deftly chronicles his experiences and the characters he has encountered (such as desert rat ?Mr. James,? featured on the cover). He does so with wit, insight and frequent discontent. These selections can be read as a cross section of a greatly changing America. Whether for the best or not is always on the author?s mind. Clippings From The Vine is ?solid America,? of a type we shall see little or any of in the future ?instant media society.? And, the author asks you not to judge him, until you?ve walked the streets of Victor, Colorado?
