But Who Will Save Me From The Night

In this artfully crafted work by renowned columnist Bob August we are introduced to Aquila, Ohio upon the return of one of its sons after an absence of nearly 40 years. The protagonist raconteur takes us thru circa 1970s Aquila and in his reflections the depression era small town of his youth. In these reflections our story unfolds as clarity about the long buried past is revealed. With strong undercurrents and Americana themes this literary work continues to develop after the last page has been read.

Bob August, most known for his work with The Cleveland Press, The News-Herald, and his nationally syndicated column "The Wiser Side of Sixty" had enchanted readers for decades with his masterful style and wit. This novel is a posthumous publication. As stated by his family, "We felt we had found buried treasure in our basement. This work is so beautifully constructed and intriguing, it truly is the cornerstone of his legacy. Bob August was a low key kind of person, but he left us with a big surprise. If he were here we would like to ask him some questions. We can almost see him, 6 o’clock, sipping his dirty martini, discussing this work and making us laugh."
