"Chronicles of a Rural Journalist in America" finds writer, Norbert Blei, at his best--at war amongst the Pharisees & Philistines, the developers, the Gross Growth Tourist Industry, the Far Right Fundamentalists, the political forces determined to reinvent the Bill of Rights, the hypocrisy & apathy often found in rural America, small town life, in his "Paradise-Almost-Lost": Door County, Wisconsin, U. S. A. "He has made a career out of challenging the prevailing wisdom, especially when that wisdom leads to irresponsible land development...or the irresponsible diminution of common people anywhere, or the irresponsible use of language by leaders who should know better."--The Minneapolis Tribune. " The deeper you delve into 'Chronicles,' the more you're swept along with Blei's boisterous brand of humor."--The Milwaukee Journal. "A kind of North Woods Ed Abbey...fierce & funny."--The Chicago Sun-Times. "The kind of book you will only see from small press publishers, God bless them. It is idiosyncratic, eccentric, cranky, satirical, funny. In fact, it is a hoot. But it is a hoot with a serious point: a reminder that the First Amendment is a significant protection of free speech..."--Strong Coffee (Chicago).
