Description

Ed Davis taught writing and humanities courses at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio, USA for thirty-five years before retiring in 2011. He has also taught both fiction and poetry at the Antioch Writers' Workshop and is the author of the novels I Was So Much Older Then and The Measure of Everything, four poetry chapbooks, and many published stories and poems in anthologies and journals. He is also the author of Time of the Light, a poetry collection.

"I love this book, not least for the zillion writers and religious thinkers I find in it, among them Dickens, Melville, Jonathan Edwards, Increase Mather, Jimmy Swaggart, and Walker Percy. The plot is straight out of On the Road with the same moral risk and ambiguities and the prose is rich." Lee K. Abbott, author of Dreams of Distant Lives, Strangers in Paradise, and Love is the Crooked Thing "An excellent, lively read." William J. Cobb, author of The Bird Saviors and The Lousy Adult
