About this title

Synopsis:

A delightful collection of evocative essays from NPR commentator (All Things Considered) Ed Cullen. "Like many of us, I spend too much time in an office. My best memories from childhood are outdoors-bouncing a tennis ball against the front porch steps...making up a baseball game, camping, and fishing." Letter in a Woodpile contains humorous commentaries on life in southern Louisiana, including Mardi Gras, science fairs, and how denizens of Guatemala North (Baton Rouge) stay cool.

Store Description

I've been a book person as long as I can remember so it was natural for me to become a bookseller when I came of age to find a job. I've worked in several well-known shops: for Frances Steloff' Gotham Book Mart in the '60s, the Mithras (with Harold and Sandra Darling) after GBM, into the 80s, then Chatterton's in LA for another decade. My special interests lie in 20th Century literature and art. I'm very interested in vintage paperbacks, especially gay and lesbian pulps. And there you have a quick once-over of my vision.
