Write About What You Love
That's what Michael Perry did in his latest book, Truck: A Love Story.
At first glance, it may appear to be an homage to his dearly beloved International Harvester truck, but it is so much more than that. Moreover, Perry has way with words that makes me want to savor each sentence slowly (and that's a big deal for a girl who reads with lightining speed.)
My favorite sentence of the moment--because there are sure to be more--is: "The spent garlic, when squeezed warmly from its husk directly upon your tongue, will slacken your face and make you shimmy." (19)
Indeed, Mr. Perry and it's not hard to imagine you shimmying across your kitchen floor whatsoever.
