In the days Before Sunscreen, Soccer Practice, MTV, and Amber Alerts, Boys Roamed Freely In The American Weast - Fishing, Hunting, Bikeing Pause To Skinny Dip In A River Or Pond. Dougless Thayer Was Such A Boy, And In This Poignat, Often Hummorous Memoir, He Depicts His Utah Valley Boyhood During The Great Depression And World War 2.
Known In Some Circles As A Mormon Hemingway, Thayer Has Created A Richly Detailed Work That Shares Cultural DNA With McCout's Angela's Ashes, Mark Twain's The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, and William Golding's Lord Of The Files. His Narrative At Once Prosaic And Poetic, Thayer Captures Nostalgia For A Simpler Time, Along With Boyhoods Universal Yearnings, Pleasures, and Mysteries.
