The Neitzert family
is proud to introduce you to an exciting new author. Larry Neitzert,
the oldest sibling of the family spent his
career as a teacher and now in his retirement has turned his talents
to writing. His first two novels are engaging and hard to put down.
They also give you a fairly clear view of the things that influenced
Larry as he grew up. |
Within a world bounded by four rough-hewn walls, Larry Neitzert explores
the universal themes of family, friendship, love, and death. Populated
by bumbling racists who like talking rubbish, a father who is unable
to use words to express his grief, farm boys who try growing up by reading
dirty magazines, and another boy who thinks growing up is going to war,
this world, which seems so far away in time and place, is as close as
the humanity we all share. With his collection of entertaining and insightful
short stories, Neitzert indeed can hit the broadside of a barn - and
what a hit |

Robert Hartman returns for his senior
year of college with the sole purpose of avoiding the draft and service
in Vietnam. Among
the excitement and turmoil of 1968 different "voices" give
him answers to the inevitable draft notice that will arrive in June.
As he waits for that draft notice, love arrives from an unexpected
source.
"Maggie's Farm is a thought-provoking, entertaining tale of life on and off campus at Michigan State University in the late 1960s." |
