Heroes, a man and his dog, the American landscape, remembered passion, conflict a dying father and a prodigal son, pioneer journals, reflections of a young boys Eden, a hooker on a corner in West Oakland, love in all its myriad formsthese are just a few of the stories revealed within the covers of Body of Work, Dan Strawns personal collection of six decades of Twentieth Century Americana.
Strawn tells his stories through the mediums of poems, family history, serious and humorous nonfiction, and short fiction. Take your pick: civil rights, family history, everyday life, or bits of irony served up on a plate of no-holds-barred satire by a self-professed American contradiction: both cynic and patriot. Open the book and read. You will be entertained and informed; you may even come away with a changed perspective about yourself or your world.
