Gordon Osing’s new
book Things That Never Happened
is brilliant,
soul-deep, questing, and fun. One thinks of Wordsworth’s Prelude done with a great jazz beat, and then one thinks of all the good books wrung from a writer’s experience, from a life. The book has the force of a train rumbling through a vibrant city. Its obervations are startling and pleasurable even as they disturb. Read it and see. Richard Bausch, author of Wives and Lovers Each of the little ones in the house must find his and her way out, must face the ordeals of trying to love, must find and enact a self who is not blindsided by the simplest blandishments of assimilation in town. Tom Russell, author of Travelling with the Magi |
