Books examines one man's life through humor and insight
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Aug. 14, 2009 — In "From a Window or Two," published by AuthorHouse, author Alan Burton shares the memories of his occasionally absurd life with readers.
"Being an isolationist — moving to the end of a dead-end dirt road on a lake — I thought this would be the perfect place for peace and quiet," says Burton. "I felt that writing some experiences as memoirs would be interesting to readers and depict the absurdities that life offers."
"From a Window or Two" recounts unforgettable, hilarious and moving stories throughout Burton's life, including the women he's loved, living with pre-teens, and — mysteriously — body parts of Alaskan wildlife. The book, simple and true, provides readers with chuckles and nuggets of wisdom as Burton recalls his most memorable moments.
These moments, while specific to Burton's life, are universal in their themes. From happy times with children, to depressing times. The stories are not presented in a chronological order, but rather are meant to be read as the reader's mood allows — and re-read as inspiration is desired.
