Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A collection of humorous and nostalgic Americana stories--the beloved, bestselling classics that inspired the movie <i>A Christmas Story</i></b> <p/>Before Garrison Keillor and Spalding Gray there was Jean Shepherd: a master monologist and writer who spun the materials of his all-American childhood into immensely resonant--and utterly hilarious--works of comic art. <i>In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash</i> represents one of the peaks of his achievement, a compound of irony, affection, and perfect detail that speaks across generations. <p/><i>In God We Trust</i>, Shepherd's wildly witty reunion with his Indiana hometown, disproves the adage "You can never go back." Bending the ear of Flick, his childhood-buddy-turned-bartender, Shepherd recalls passionately his genuine Red Ryder BB gun, confesses adolescent failure in the arms of Junie Jo Prewitt, and relives a story of man against fish that not even Hemingway could rival. From pop art to the World's Fair, Shepherd's subjects speak with a universal irony and are deeply and unabashedly grounded in American Midwestern life, together rendering a wonderfully nostalgic impression of a more innocent era when life was good, fun was clean, and station wagons roamed the earth. <p/>A comic genius who bridged the gap between James Thurber and David Sedaris, Shepherd may have accomplished for Holden, Indiana, what Mark Twain did for Hannibal, Missouri.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Shepherd has a fine eye for absurdity, for the madness and idiocy in all of us."<b>--<i>Best Sellers</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>For many years a cult radio and cabaret personality in New York City, <b>Jean Shepherd</b> was the creator of the popular film <i>A Christmas Story</i>, which is based on his novels <i>In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash</i> and <i>Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories</i>, and which has become a holiday tradition on the Turner Network. Jean Shepherd passed away in 1999.
