Situation in Flushing

<p>In a nostalgic yet nimble telling of his boyhood in Flushing Michigan Edmund Love notes that he was born into a world that ceased to exist almost as soon as he entered it. "In the first twelve years of my life" he writes "rural America was swept away as though it has been a picture on a blackboard that had suddenly been erased."<br /><br /><em>The Situation in Flushing</em> is a humorous portrait of a place and people that have vanished from the American scene. With his unique brand of satire Love provides sharp and amusing insight into the events and personalities that shaped his youth.</p>
