Synopsis

David Warner takes readers on an impressionistic journey back in time, back to the Tuscaloosa, Alabama, of his childhood. Nostalgic without being sentimental (even ribald at times) these vignettes of growing up and losing innocence in a small town will provoke nods of agreement and understanding among readers of all ages. Like the radial lines rippling outward from a stone dropped into water, so does every personal, specific moment radiate in time, to every person of every generationsuch is the message of David Warners prose. Though Chip Coopers specially commissioned photographs were taken in present-day Tuscaloosa, they resonate (as does the work of any great artist) with meaning outside of time. The marriage of these two elements results in a dynamic and unique book experience.
