An American Pie
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Joy in Mudville is a quest for the dream, a creation of delight with all the magic ingredients that make it one of the most tasty dishes of American Pie ever baked in a modern literary oven. Where else can the archetypel characters of Babe Ruth, Woody Guthrie, Al Capone, Superman, and the Wizard of Oz cross paths to help define the honest jopes of men, women, and childhood innocence. If Gabriel Garcia Marquez were an American, this is the novel he would have written. Read it and you will be educated and entertained. You will know more about the country, it's mythology, and the nature of your own wonder. Gordon McAlpine is truly one of the most compassionate of America's new authors, and one of whom, I am sure, you will here a great deal more.
