Description

By Richard Hill

A wry and irreverent collection of stories, Hitchhiking After Dark offers a comical and sometimes ludicrous look at growing up and working in small towns, mostly in northern Michigan. It vividly portrays a mixed bag of zany characters and absurd everyday encounters.

Spoofs and stories include: Pre-purchase of burial plots, aggressive neighbors, traveling salesmen, bootlegging, piracy aboard a Lake Superior freighter, State Troopers and religious activities.

With tongue and cheek, the author presents a broad assortment of stories and memoirs that both celebrate and satirize many of the thoroughly Midwestern aspects of small-town life. They are eccentric, sometimes outrageous, but always entertaining.
