Welcome to Litsy!

Local author Wes Blake stopped by our book club to discuss this novella, a series of vignettes about Frank, a former revival preacher imprisoned for fraud, and his cat Buffalo. Set in the 1970s, this is an affecting and meditative account of loneliness and the search for self-awareness, grounded in nature.

I had so many favorites this week. I couldn‘t pick just one.

Bk 1 - A book about an ex con traveling with his cat Buffalo
Bk 2 - A middle grade SciFi/fantasy with talking animals
Bk 3 - A book about monsters
Bk 4 - A nature book but it‘s also philosophical
Bk 5 - A picture book about rain
Bk 6 - A picture book about the solar system
Bk 7 - A picture book about fuel
Bk 8 - A picture book about volcanoes

After being sentenced to a minimum-security prison in eastern Kentucky, former southern revival preacher and confidence man, Frank Russet, escapes. Taking only a cat named Buffalo and a desire to outrun his former life, he journeys to the fringes of society.

1. The main character in this book used to be a southern revival preacher and con man. He‘s out of prison now and he‘s traveling with his cat Buffalo.

2. I‘m unemployed. Transportation is a problem for me because I don‘t drive. The only thing I do at home is take care of the birds and I do chores around the house.

I‘m excited about reading this book. It sounds so good and it has a cat named Buffalo. I‘ve never heard of a cat with that name. I love books with animal companions. If any book has an animal companion, I want to read it.
