I was reading an essay by Bill Kauffman, and though a Yankee, also an agrarian I interpret, and a defender of localism.
The essay comments on some unnamed big city reporter/anthropological writer who knows the small-town-folk, though only through superficial experience.
A quote from the reporter: "It's easy to spot someone who grew up in a small town and got out: they have a breathless air about them, their expressions somehow startled and dreamy."
A quote from Mr. kauffman: "What the hell does that mean?"
Good for Mr. Kauffman.
I was looking through blogs that other people follow and had to click over to you because I love your title. I became a follower because I like your writing style and your short posts. So much said in so few words. I will be back
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm kind of new to this and trying to figure all the blogging techniques.
