I Have Words to Spend. I liked the man's style of writing so I tried another of his works

I Have Words to Spend. Robert Cormier is a lumnist from Leominster, Massachusetts. I liked the man's style of writing so I tried another of his works.

I have words to spend, and I do not always spend them wisely. Cormier writes-a surprising confession from a novelist hailed as a master craftsman and noted for his spare and controlled prose. It is also the confession of a writer unafraid to submit to the rigors of writing under deadline and of an observer who sees with his heart as well as with his eyes. I Have Words to Spend is a splendid collection of pieces about the small-town visions and values that have particular poignancy in a time of turmoil. This is a volume to treasure and to return to over and over again.

Cormier explores those things that interest and excite him-from current events to the movies-as well as things that touch his heart-a daughter's wedding, the shape of his mother's hands. I have words to spend, and I do not always spend them wisely.

Book Format: Choose an option. Cormier is a gifted story teller. Some of his stories capture my attention, because he was an older dad with a daughter.
