Book Description:

For three decades Sam Pickering has written essays, his words rolling in a fine frenzy over ordinary life discovering the marvellous and the absurd. His curiosity ranges, but it also rumpuses and rollicks. He wanders the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee, rural Connecticut, farmland in Nova Scotia, and islands in the sun. Strangers tell him their life stories-tales that are almost as odd as the fictional characters he meets.
