The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Baltimore-based fiction writer Ron Tanner, who read here for his debut book of stories, A Bed of Nails, returns with his winning account of a house's restoration in From Animal House to Our House: A Love Story (Academy Chicago). "I fell for the house, I fell for the girl (and predictably for her dowager of a basset hound), but most of all I fell for Ron Tanner, one very fine storyteller. I'm still a bit stunned that I could become so entranced by a tale involving rehab nerds, real-estate shysters, frat-house vandals, Dumpsters, rats, and a whole lot of tools, but I'm enough of a writer to know this: when someone of great heart meets the most deeply personal challenge of a lifetime—especially when it seems strange or insane to just about everyone else—that's the place where the best and most moving stories begin." - Julia Glass.
