“I just want to take this opportunity to say that I am a very bad shot. I don’t usually hit my target. I also can’t turn down a dare. So, armed with as big of a handful of clover as I could hold I preceded to shoot clover at the man’s gaping mouth....”
It was the 1970’s and the author is just a gangly, bony eleven-year-old girl just trying to make sense of life and the adults in it; one in particular.
‘Death and Other Miseries’ is like a literary sandwich made up of six short stories; two told in verse.
At the center are two fictional shorts with an autobiographical poem on either side. These are ‘sandwiched’ between two short stories encompassing a brief period in the authors life and two very differant but very memmorable charactors.
All-in-all, ‘Death and Other Miseries’ is an easy, quick read that is at times funny, nostalgic and thought provoking. An enjoyable read.
