Overview

"Step into a world where memories flow like jazz melodies, and moments are stitched together with the threads of humor and honesty. In Those Days: A Collection of Stories, acclaimed story teller B.J. Glassel presents a literary experience that will transport you back to the heartland of Wisconsin, offering a glimpse into a life lived in moments both ordinary and extraordinary. Hailed by his editor as ""Wisconsin's Jack Kerouac, but with a sense of humor,"" Glassel weaves a tapestry of narratives that embrace the unpredictability of life. The book defies convention by presenting stories in a unique structure, beginning with a short tale that is further enriched by historical context in the epilogue. Each chapter is accompanied by a meticulously chosen ""soundtrack"" suggestion, turning the reading experience into an auditory and emotional journey. These stories, recounted with a dash of wit and a generous measure of honesty, capture the essence of the Midwest in the 1970s. Just as Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five took readers on a time-twisting journey, Those Days transports you through an assortment of life's ""intervals."" From the intriguing narrative of a Wisconsin foundry worker valuing body parts to the tension-filled confrontations of a Milwaukee Catholic High School student, and the unexpected turn of events during a camping trip in Nebraska-each story is a capsule of a distinct moment, an episode that collectively forms the author's exploration of identity. B.J. Glassel invites you to embark on a literary journey that celebrates the poignant, the humorous, and the authentic moments that shape our lives. Those Days is more than a collection of stories; it's an invitation to revisit your own journey through the lens of another's, reminding us that the tapestry of life is woven from experiences that resonate across time and place."
