Good little read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This slim volume is nostalgic but not too sentimental. Corder evokes a place (West Texas) and a time (circa 1940) that may be far removed from his readers, but like his other works (including his many scholarly essays), CHRONICLE connects in ways that pay rich dividends. Always the teacher, Corder passes on to his readers something precious about simply seeing things (the landscapes that define his/our inner and outer vistas, for example). The illustrations, from Corder's own hand, are a hoot. May this book stay in print indefinitely!
