America’s Boy by Wade Rouse is a straight up memoir of an
ordinary childhood in the American South.
The virtue of the book, at least for me, was that it got me thinking
that it would be fun to write about my own life. The author uses a straightforward scaffolding
for his story that looks to provide an easy foothold for trying something
similar yourself. His approach is to
chapter by chapter call out the characters (i.e. other people) in his life.
Anyway I am going to give it a try.
Recommended for those who like to read about the lives of
ordinary people.
