My Staggerford Journal
From Library Journal This slim volume is the journal that popular author Hassler kept during 1975, when he took a sabbatical year from teaching and wrote Staggerford, his first novel of small-town life. He has since written ten more novels and in September brought out a book of short stories (Keepsakes and Other Stories). Hassler says he discovered early on that his journal writing had more vitality if he wrote to friends rather than just to himself, and he dedicates this book to Dick Brook, to whom most of it was originally addressed. The rigors of preparing manuscripts before the days of PCs and other historical details are effortlessly and charmingly presented. The tone throughout is friendly and conversational, hard to fault but also hardly stimulating. Recommended only where interest in Hassler's work is strong. -Mary Paumier Jones, Westminster P.L., CO Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
