The Old Man's Letters

Meet Jake Strider, a cantankerous country sage with a caustic wit and a ribald sense of humor.
The Old Man’s Letters chronicles some of Strider's most notable correspondence to his son over almost two decades. It’s a hilarious, remarkably perceptive panorama of rural life, from bizarre tales of crazy friends to poignant political and social points of view. This is a guaranteed “laugh out loud” read.

“As earthy as the rocky hill soil and pure as a pristine Ozark Mountain stream, author Michael Reisig, in The Old Man’s Letters, cuts directly to the core of humanity with this new collection. He gives us a spontaneous, full-throated belly laugh, but more often makes us stop, draw in a sharp breath and exhale quickly. A gem of a collection.”
-- Maylon Rice, The Northwest Arkansas Times
