L. Rust Hills - also dead, alas

Oh, man, quel drag.

Just discovered L Rust Hills this past spring...his hilarious book of essays at left was one of my favorite books in years.


In it, he gives advice on such diffuse topics how not to drink too much (hilarious), the correct way to eat an ice cream cone and how to wash a car, which includes such caveats as "make sure it's Saturday" and "you will need kids and dogs around."


One of the greats. His essays are like EB White's, only a bit less persnickety.
