Synopsis

“One of the best storytellers in Texas. Brad Stutzman’s columns paint memorable portraits of ordinary people who are not ordinary at all." Williamson County Sun

Whether writing about well-known celebrities or hometown neighbors, Brad Stutzman shares unique insights and perspectives gleaned from more than 40 years as a Central Texas newspaper reporter and editor. These reflections span the comic to the tragic, examining both topical issues and timeless questions with thoughtfulness, clarity, and wit.

“Brad has been reporting and writing in Central Texas for more than four decades, covering everything from fish fries to murder trials to high school football, sometimes all on the same day. No matter how busy he was filling the news pages. He always found time to write at least one column a week. The columns became abiding personal essays that are a lot like the man who wrote them – conversational, sensible, compassionate and often very funny.” Clay Coppedge, author of Forgotten Tales of Texas and Loaded South: A Taxi Memoir

“Perhaps his greatest strength is his ability to view others through their eyes, and being able to translate that vision into words that jerk a tear. Life is certainly something to treasure, and it's wordsmiths like Brad that enable us to more fully understand it.” James Wear, author of Not Just a Country Boy

“Brad's columns about daily life can pierce your heart, help you better understand this old world, and make you laugh or (occasionally) weep.” Linda Scarbrough, author of Road, River, and ‘Ol Boy Politics

The desire to communicate – the need to understand and be under- stood – is fundamental to our existence. It’s an aching urge, buried deep within the human heart. And so we document our days., just as our ancient ancestors did, drawing on cave walls as many as 65,000 years ago. Whether on stone tablets or computer tablets – pecking away on key- boards or scribbling on a legal pad’s yellow pages – we shine light throughthe darkness. Made in the image of the one who made the world and set time itself in motion, we strive, however imperfectly – writer and reader alike – to bring order out of chaos. In that spirit, Melancholy Paradise continues our journey together. No matter how busy Brad was filling the news pages, he always found time to write at least one column a week across more than 40 years. These are a collection of his best.
