The Old Man at the Bridge

Charles Willeford

0/5 ( ratings)

"Willeford, writing with quiet authority, has the ability to make his situations, scenes, dialogue, sound absolutely real" Elmore Leonard

This short story is a slyly humorous meditation on fishing, relationships and machismo by the Florida author of MIAMI BLUES and THE BURNT ORANGE HERESY.

"I'm not really breaking the genre, just bending it a bit." Charles Willeford

“Willeford's experience of his life led him to a certain attitude toward the world and his place in it, and this attitude, ironic without meanness, comic but deeply caring, informed every book he ever wrote, from his two volumes of autobiography through all the unnoticed novels.” Donald Westlake

Language: English

Pages: 6

Format: Kindle Edition

Release: July 16, 2009
