In a Special Light
In a Special Light | Elroy Bode
5 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Elroy Bodes books on nature and life have made him a favorite of readers and critics. Here he explores his home city of El Paso, the land and people of Central Texas, and his roles as teacher, father, and writer. These sharply observed, beautifully written pieces find the universal in the particular a young boy in a barbershop, plaza life, a young couple in Smokeys Barbecue. In a Special Light discovers pleasure in the lives of ordinary people, and joy in the worlds in which they live.

#bookyouaregratefulfor or perhaps I should say an author I am grateful for-he puts into words the most inexplicable but essential expressions of being alive in an existential engagement with life around you

“Trees: they have the fluidity of the seas, the serene majesty of the skies, the unspoken depths of unconscious thought. They have the grace of dancers; they are classic and romantic. They seem to offer more than we know how to receive.”

Bode‘s memorable prose explores the areas of the hill country, San Antonio, and his adopted city of El Paso. Existential simplicity among life‘s darknesses, his words are as paint on a canvas-lush and momentous.
