I’ve long been a major fan of the late Robert Ruark’s writing. He manages a wit and style that keeps you smiling, and a poignancy and depth that can bring out the soft tears of compassion.
It doesn’t hurt, of course, that Ruark hails from my family home, Wilmington, NC. But that’s neither here nor there. Hemingway wasn’t from NC, and I love his writing too.
Anyway, in this blogosphere I’ve had the priviledge of reading a lot of good stuff from a bunch of folks. Rex’s tall tales at the Deer Camp Blog, and Holly’s thoughtful posts at NorCal Cazadora are perfect examples.
And then there are gems like Albert Rasch. Check out this recent post, redolent of Ruark at his best, but original all the same. It’s a five minute journey of the mind… so much more than just a cluster of words.
thanks for the link and words of praise.
I’ve got to get Albert linked, he is good.
