Paradise Unplugged

Paradise Unplugged As he demonstrated in "The Fox and Other Stories," (Turtle Press - 1996) and The Man Who Saw Himself (Xlibris -2002), Ed Robison continues to watch and listen closely to the world around him. This new collection reveals fresh poignancies and acutely observed quotidian mini-dramas that can easily burn into the consciousness of those willing to pause and listen. Paradise Unplugged like Robison's Whiskey River (Outskirts Press - 2011) is a further compilation of unforgettable stories which tug at the mosaic of American small-town life. Each reader is sure to see himself or an acquaintance, friend or relative in these crafty stories, often lyrical writing, and pithy dialogue -- images which hold up a mirror to snatch a glimpse of the little hamlets of the logging towns of the Pacific Northwest. A mesmerizing look indeed, at another America. "It wouldn't be entirely out of line to characterize Ed Robison as a Damon Runyon of the resorts, retirement communities, logging towns and porch swings of the Northwest."- Jim Nisbet Author of "Prelude to a Scream."
