![]() ![]() These backward glances - He Speaks to Animals, How He Tamed the Giant, How He Saved My Life, for example-are the stuff of modern-day legend. A salesman from Ashland, Alabama, who, by his own confession, just wanted to be a great man, Edward is revealed in a series of amusing, backward glances as a man quick with a rib-splitting joke as well as full of wise if improbable tales of his heroic past that blend into the mythic, even fairy-tale-like material of transcendence. Edward Bloom, William's father, is dying. But this event is not just witnessed, as the subtitle suggests, it is turned over and imaginatively recreated four times, to be exact until the son William Bloom can get it right. Thank Daniel Wallace, first-time novelist from Birmingham, Alabama, now residing in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, for a singular and surprisingly comic contemplation on the death and life of a father as witnessed by his son. ![]()

Note that Hubbell wrote her book before the widespread appearance of the varroa mite, colony collapse disorder-or cell phones. Similarly, she downplays the deadliness of copperheads and rattlers, though she’s wary of water moccasins. She shrugs off the common Ozarks fear of the brown recluse spider: she’s bitten herself and claims the bite to be no more significant than that of a tick or chigger. On the farm, she observes not only bees but birds, deer, insects, and snakes. She travels about in her cantankerous pickup truck, making friends with the local people even though she’s plainly an Easterner and a literary sort in the bargain. ![]() Hubbell makes a perilous living with her 200 hives, kept not only on her farm but on neighboring farms. ![]() She casts no blame but you feel her loneliness, her buried grief, on every page, even though her short chapters are often levied with bemusement over, for instance, the war between a blacksnake and chickenhouse mice. After some thirty years of marriage, Hubbell’s husband left Hubbell and their bee-keeping operation in southern Missouri. ![]() ![]() This is free download How to Say Goodbye in Robot by Natalie Standiford complete book soft copy.
