“While his four decades of residence [in the Midwest] are manifested in his writing through veracity of voice, tone, and fact, it is [Steve Hannah’s] status as perpetual ‘newcomer’ . . . that infuses these tales with a palpable sense of discovery, marvel, and wonder.”—from the foreword by Michael Perry, author of Population 485
“Hannah has woven together an honest and humorous self-portrait and a fascinating collection of stories about an array of Wisconsinites. It’s clear that a deep love for Wisconsin’s people and its landscapes runs through these stories.”—Lynne Diebel, author of Crossing the Driftless
“A marvelous book by a longtime Wisconsin journalist who writes with insight, humor, and compassion about the state and its residents.”—Doug Moe
