Description
In God We Trust All Others Pay Cash is a collection of humorous and nostalgic stories that capture the essence of American Midwestern life. Written by Jean Shepherd, a master monologist and writer, these tales of childhood and adolescence are infused with irony, affection, and perfect detail.
Shepherd's reunion with his hometown is a wildly witty exploration of the human experience, one that disproves the notion that you can never go back. With a keen eye for detail, he recalls fond memories of childhood, from his beloved Red Ryder BB gun to a story of man against fish that is both absurd and endearing.
These stories, spanning from pop art to the World's Fair, speak with a universal irony that renders a wonderfully nostalgic impression of a bygone era. With a comic genius that bridges the gap between James Thurber and David Sedaris, Shepherd's work is a testament to the power of storytelling to capture the human condition.
