    I loved hearing your thoughts on this book and I am glad that you continue to enjoy this author's works. I love it when you find a new author and you fall down the rabbit hole of reading as many of their novels, as you can get your hands on.

      Thank you, Kelly! I couldn't agree more! I am loving just working my way through her list of works, it has been such a joy so far.

    Your recent videos on Anne Proulx have motivated me to read her work. I’m starting with The Shipping News which I just picked up at my library’s book sale.

      That makes me so happy to hear, Denotic! I really hope you enjoy "The Shipping News!" I thought it was beautifully written.

    I have probably said this before, but you are very good at this! I have heard of, but not read this one, but I believe that is going to change in the near future as a result of your thoughts/presentation. Unrelated fact...I bought and taught myself accordion a few years back to be able to play for my elementary music kids...it is harder than one might think. And "Accordion Crimes" might be a perfect way to describe my performances! thanks as always, Micah!

      Thank you for watching! Wow! That is so cool that you learned how to play the accordion! I am sure that is it very difficult, it sure seems like there has to be a lot going on at once to pull it off!

    I have this on my Kindle, so am keen to get to it. I like your comparison to Steinbeck, I think that is so spot on. Go well Micah.

    I've read all Annie Proulx's novels and short story collections. Her _Accordion Crimes_ is a novel, or rather a collection of novels, about the experience of certain immigrants and their descendants in the US. The accordion, which is the instrument of poor immigrants, is a literary device that connects their stories.
