about the book
Award-winning novelist Larry Brown's first work of nonfiction looks back at the life he left--that of full-time firefighter. "A wonderful book."--John Grisham "Larry Brown is never romantic about danger and . . . in this book he goes through his life with the same meticulous attention with which Thoreau circled the woods around Walden Pond."--The New York Times Book Review. A BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH -CLUB selection.
about Larry Brown
Larry Brown was born in Lafayette County, Mississippi, where he lived all his life. At the age of thirty, a captain in the Oxford Fire Department, he decided to become a writer and worked toward that goal for seven years before publishing his first book, Facing the Music, a collection of stories, in 1988. With the publication of his first novel, Dirty Work, he quit the fire station in order to write fulltime. Between then and his untimely death in 2004, he published seven more books. His three grown children and his widow, Mary Annie Brown, live near Oxford.
