Review of Trailer Trash from Tennessee by David Hunter
David Hunter pens a wistful memoir of his childhood in the hills of East
Tennessee (with a short stint in South Carolina). As a child, Hunter was
precocious and imaginative - a boy who could make arrows out of reeds and bottle tops,
turn an adding machine into the control board of a space ship, and transform
any number of common household items into innovative toys.
Always tagging along
was his little brother, Larry, reminding this reviewer of a 20th century Tom
Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The stories told are delivered with humor and
wit, in an engaging style. Hidden within the text of each chapter is a subtle
moral learned by the delightfully adroit David.
Hunter has grown from an
imaginative boy into an imaginative man, whose creativity as a writer brings pleasure
to his host of fans, of which I am one. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book
and recommend it highly.
