About the Book
Perhaps the reports of Mark Twain’s death have been greatly exaggerated. His literary wit and style live in Howard Doughty’s Midwestern Journal. “Edward Ellis’ fictional diary explores the human condition with humor, irony and intelligence… Thoroughly enjoyable and deceptively easy reading.” Kirkus Reviews “At its best, Midwestern Journal captures the rhythms of rural life... It’s the sort of book that, by getting us laughing at others, allows us to laugh at ourselves.” Clarion Review “Readers will find sympathy, understanding and flashes of humor in this intelligently crafted novel.” Blueink Review
