OVERALL CONDITION & APPEARANCE: GOOD.FROM THE INTERNET: Recounting his 17 years as a fireman in his hometown of Oxford, Mississippi, the author of Joe explores what it means to be a friend, a husband, a father, a firefighter, a man. As he interweaves scenes as diverse as raising children, battling deadly blazes and making order out of destructive chaos, Brown ponders the realities and choices that have made him the person he is."My favorite book by Brown has long been "On Fire,” the first of his two memoirs. It’s one of the finest books I know about blue-collar work in America, its rewards and frustrations. It’s also dirty, funny, packed with indelible details and moving in its ground-level evocations of courage and camaraderie. Among Southern writers, Brown was one of those who didn’t have too much syrup in him. His prose in “On Fire” is fresh, light on its feet, ready for anything. If this book were a restaurant, I’d eat there all the time." Dwight Garner.BOOK #291-83r.
