Synopsis

Too Close for Comfort is a collection of biographical anecdotes that highlight mostly humorous moments in the life of a born Hoosier and his network of friends and family. It is not a book written for the masses but rather a scrapbook of narratives that will appeal to those with a taste for honest humor and mostly benign real life mischief of the seemingly well-adjusted neighbor next door. Too Close for Comfort will also appeal to local historians and folklorists of the Hoosier state, and particularly those of Monroe and Owen Counties, with its personal narratives that offer glimpses into the post-war life of the region through the eyes of a native.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Storyteller and personal folklorist, Donald (Don) Goodman, grew up a native Hoosier after the Second World War. He is the father of three children - a psychiatric nurse, an English teacher, and a graduate student training in social psychology - and grandfather of eight grandchildren. He has lived his entire life in Monroe and Owen Counties. Don retired from the U.S. Postal Service after 37 years of dedicated service. As a storyteller, Don shares whimsical real life anecdotes of growing up Hoosier. Being Hoosier means many things, for Don it has meant being a Boy Scout, a Master Mason, a marathon runner, a judoka, and a power parachute pilot, among many other roles.
