Produktinformationen zu „A Lizard, a Parakeet, and a Methodist Grandmother (ePub)“

This heartwarming memoir short story collection is a slice of a North Georgia kid's childhood in the 1950s with local Southern flavor, family members, friends, and special places that Michael Broome wishes never to forget. His thirteen stories are humorous, personal, folksy, and sometimes a bit off-color, but the realism and emotional importance to the author are apparent. While some characters reappear and important events and places are referenced more than once throughout the collection, each story stands alone. Experience the humorous yet sentimental event of his christening, his grandmother's attachment to their town's bedraggled "Huck Finn" youngster, his aunt's clever and loquacious pet parakeet and his rather vulgar contribution to the minister's blessing at a Methodist circle meeting, and the presentation of his pet lizard to the prim and proper but high-strung county librarian, and much more.

Folks who grew up in the South during the 1950s and early 1960s and who've never lost their love for home will cherish these stories reminiscent of Bailey White or Lewis Grizzard.

Autoren-Porträt von Michael Broome

Over his 37-year career, Michael Broome, Professor Emeritus of English, served as head of the division of languages and literatures, associate dean of the college, and dean of the graduate school and academic services at Columbia College, Columbia, South Carolina. He is a retired lieutenant colonel with the South Carolina Army National Guard. He holds a B.A. from the University of Chattanooga, an M.A. from Florida State University, and a Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina. He points to his mom and to his mentor at the University of Chattanooga, Professor George Connor, as his inspirations to "keep writing." He and his wife, a retired associate dean of evening college admissions at Columbia College, enjoy travel with a special group of friends in Columbia and leisure time at family homes at Pawley's Island, South Carolina, and Maggie Valley, North Carolina. Michael's hobbies include reading, gardening, Civil War and World War II history, and baseball card collecting. Both Michael and his wife remain as active as possible in their beloved and historical Washington Street United Methodist Church in Columbia, South Carolina.
