- Summary:
- From the beloved columnist of the Houston Chronicle comes his most warm hearted and entertaining collection of columns yet. Home Spun amply reaffirms Leon Hale's reputation as a master of the short personal essay. These are narratives of ordinary experience filtered through an extraordinary sensibility - kind, tolerant, funny, always delightful. And told in the graceful conversational prose that has long been his hallmark. Whether he's describing the territorial controversy over a church pew back in the old home town, second-guessing the coach at a high school football game, or cataloguing the similarities between his nomadic son and father, Hale's eye for the telling detail enlists us in the gentle laughter of self-recognition.
