SLIGHTLY COOLER IN THE SUBURBS

by G.B. Palmer ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

Some of the funnier, more frustrating, and comfortingly familiar phases of working in the city, living in the country, these pieces reflect the smaller satisfactions and the larger aggravations in a life which begins with the morning struggle to make the 8:19. You will meet that nice type, the guy with ""a Little Home, a Little Mortgage, a Little Car, a Little Family, a Little Dog, and awfully Little Time on his hands"" and you will share in the disenchantment of buying a house- and repairing it later; of coping with weekend company, children, neighbors, prowlers, emergencies; of supermarket shopping; of the random routine of the local taxi system; of participation in clubs- and local politics- and the village tapro.... A disarming, appealing and generally amusing account of the commuters' circuit, this should invite an audience of fellow travelers.
