Synopsis

After a walkabout that lasted just shy of two decades, author J. Wilson returned to his home stomping grounds in rural Iowa to finish raising his kids “free-range style.” There, he found that he was neither a big fish in a small pond nor a small fish in a big pond. He was simply a colorful fish trying to fit in. For want of an occupation, Wilson found himself seated at the editor’s desk at a small, weekly newspaper. While he covered local news and high school sports, edited obituaries and birth announcements, and photographed everything that occurred within the community, it was writing his weekly editorial column, “Pen Slinger,” which kept him from sinking during the five and a half years he worked at the Adams County Free Press. Published here as a guidebook and memoir to benefit his two sons and eventual descendants in the event that his memory fails or he becomes too curmudgeonly to tell stories firsthand, Pen Slinger is a compilation of Wilson’s favorite columns. In it, he discusses life, love, pie, politics, bacon, and beer. Funny, poignant, obnoxious, and inspiring, Wilson’s work offers a challenge to the reader, his boys, and himself.
