AUTHOR: Leon Walter Tillage
PUBLISHER: Farrar Strauss Giroux
COPYRIGHT: 1997, 107 pages
A 107 page book that is a testament to the resilience of man AND man's inhumanity to man. Imagine watching a loved on run over and killed and the only thing you get is an apology from the parent of the driver and $100.00. No investigation, no placing of blame, nada. What about getting your head cracked open because you drank some agua from the "wrong" water fountain. Mr. Tillage tells these and other harrowing stories as he experienced them growing up in North Carolina in this heartfelt, straightforward book.
Graced with a wonderful photo on the cover of Mr. Tillage as a boy and filled with the collage art of Susan L. Roth.
