Mister John hasn't had a home street or mailing address for over half his life. He's never made a mortgage or car payment, nor has he rented an apartment or house. He's never had children or a cup of coffee, so he doesn't know about those things either. Yet, he once held valid driver's licenses from three countries on three continents.
Does this small-town boy from humble beginnings live in another reality? Yes, after realizing at an early age that if he lived a life like most everyone else, he'd get a life like most everyone else. John wanted something different. John got something different, and then some, and then some more.
From his earliest memories to his latest doings, in MISFIT 5, like each of the four previous volumes, Mister John recounts 36 of his humorous, reflective, inherently interesting, deftly crafted, thoughtful, and thought-provoking short stories. When taken together, what emerges for the reader is the story of his serendipitous life.
Authentic, skillfully written memoir storytelling, this is a truly impressive and special series that tells a compelling tale. Mister John's unique perspective on life, presented in make-you-laugh, make-you-cry, make-you-think stories he hopes to pass along to generations of appreciative readers, will leave you enlightened.
