 A Blue-Collar Classic June 6, 2006
Peter Browning was 75 when he finished up this gutsy memoir, and it ranks among the best blue-collar stories of American life. The prose is positively alive with the spirit of the Fifties - the tough-minded Fifties that didn't make it into sitcoms. As a truck driver hauling cars across the Great West, he encountered plenty of memorable characters, and his story of a peripatetic life fifty years ago is hard to put down.
