The Literary Spirituality Review Good People . . . from an Author’s Life by Jon Hassler Loyola Press, 2001, 120 pages reviewed by John Rosengren One of my high school English teachers used to say he tried to find at least one good thing about every person he met. He would have been pleased with Jon Hassler. The celebrated Catholic author’s latest book started with a simple idea: to write about goodness. Good People . . . from an Author’s Life turned out to be a good idea. In this rare work of nonfiction part memoir, part essay Hassler examines goodness from various angles in parents, childhood and adult friends, even his own characters. He avoids simplistic and sweeping definitions about goodness but instead paints balanced portraits that weigh his subjects’ flaws and shortcomings against their virtues. The effect is to provide a more honest, realistic consideration of that person’s goodness. Drawing from his forty-two years spent teaching and the characters of his more than a dozen works of fiction, including The Love Hunter

45. Beyond 4/98: Ben Elton, Jon Hassler, Carl Hiaasen, Christopher Moore, Bill Morri businesswoman to proprietress towell, to what? hassler, jon THEDEAN'S LIST. A sequel to Rookery Blues, this hugely sympathetic http://www.dreamscape.com/rebrown/spri98.htm

Beyond the Bestsellers, Spring 1998 Baker, Larry THE FLAMINGO RISING No, not the birdrather, the world's largest drive-in in 60's Florida, run by an eccentric father, an academic mother, two beloved adopted children and a great supporting cast. Told in retrospect, through vignette, Flamingo is a coming-of-age story, a blast from the past, and much more. Check out the July 4 pyrotechnics that lead to one catastrophe in 1967, and then an evengreater one in 1968. Slow to start, but full of humanity; also the third drive-in book on the last two lists. Barthelme, Frederick BOB THE GAMBLER Symmetry: the casinos that revive run-down Biloxi will, all on their own, run people down. One who is hit is once-promising architect Ray Kaiser, and so is his wife Jewel. Barthelme gives a great idea of the "rush" of addiction, and how it short-circuits reason. And, curiously, this quiet book points directly at a "moral of the story" that it steadfastly refuses to draw. Brussig, Thomas HEROES LIKE US If this German bestseller is as funny in its native tongue, it's pretty funny, and bravo to translator John Brownjohn, because as with Nabokov much of the humor lies in the diction. But then, consider this: it's about a narcissistic protagonist's coming-of-age, his preoccupation with his (euphemism alert!) member, and his receipt of a Nobel Prize for his role in the fall of the Berlin Wall, through demonstration of his (euphemism alert!) member, grown through surgical error to gigantic proportions, to awed border guards. Truly far out.

HOME WEBSITE GUIDE TITLES ... ALA ALUMNI Reviews For: by Jon Hassler HARDCOVER EDITION With dustjacket, wood engravings by Gaylord Schanilec, 10" x 7 1/4", 120 pages ISBN 1-890434-17-5 For Minnesota novelist Jon Hassler, publication of his short stories means he's closer to fulfilling his ambition of `getting everything I wrote between covers.' Mary Ann Grossmann/ Saint Paul Pioneer Press It's been a wonderful year for Minnesota writer Jon Hassler, who celebrated his 66th birthday in March. His boyhood home in Plainview is being turned into a writers center, his Parkinson's disease isn't too inhibiting, and his first short-story collection is just off the presses from Afton Historical Society Press. Hassler is nationally known for his nine adult novels set in Minnesota, several of them best sellers. But before he sold his first book in 1976, he honed his skills by writing short fiction that never saw print. ``Nobody wanted to publish these stories then because I didn't have a name,'' Hassler says, as he watches the St. Croix River flow past the Afton Historical Society Press offices in Afton.

Now, Hassler brings back the delightful hero from that novel. He's older, not necessarily wiser, and still fumbling with love and life amid the strange campus doings of the 1990s. Leland Edwards, a piano-playing fisherman and English professor, has become Dean of Rookery State College. And since the president of the college has been on automatic pilot for the last thirty years, it falls to Leland to save his beloved campus from diminished enrollment, hockey thuggery, and its ignoble associations with Paul Bunyan. Then his old pal from the Icejam Quintet, Peggy Benoit, drops a fund-raising plum in his lap. The most famous poet in America, Richard Falcon, has agreed to come to Rookery. Leland envisions thousands coming from all over the Midwest to hear Falcon's readingan event that will put Rookery State on the literary map. But when he arrives, the poet is both more

THE STAGGERFORD FLOOD Jon Hassler Viking Fiction ISBN: 0670031259 I have small-town envy. I wouldn't be caught dead living too far from good bookstores, restaurants, or movie houses. I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick than grow a garden. I much prefer the anonymity of a classy hotel to the coziness of the most lauded bed-and-breakfast. And I prefer not to know my neighbors. Still Completely against my citified type, reading a Jon Hassler novel gives me sharp pangs of "I wish I lived there." Especially when "there" is the fictional Minnesota town of Staggerford. THE STAGGERFORD FLOOD takes place in the small town introduced in Hassler's first novel STAGGERFORD and revisited in A GREEN JOURNEY and DEAR JAMES. In his latest novel, Hassler uses a natural disaster to strew the familiar milieu with characters that appeared in previous novels. This novel opens a year after the flood, with elderly retired schoolteacher Agatha McGee planning a party to celebrate the anniversary of the deluge that laid waste to parts of Staggerford. Hassler then takes us back to a year earlier, when Agatha's failing health has dampened her natural bossy curiosity and left her ignorant of much going on around her. A natural, if irascible, leader, Agatha isn't used to being out of the loop, but apathy bred from grief over the death of a dear friend is a powerful narcotic. It takes THE STAGGERFORD FLOOD literally rising around her to make Agatha shake off her gloominess and realize she's still loved and needed.

A pretzel in the plot Now a character-revealing falsehood. But the larger deception she fosters is implausible and cruel. Despite this pretzel in the plot, "The Staggerford Flood" is a pleasure to read for all the usual reasons the colorful characterizations, the wry wit, the quirky small-town scenes, the ultimately benevolent view of humanity and its foibles.

56. Planet Peschel's Review Of My Staggerford Journal | Jon Hassler Knowing Too Much. By Bill Peschel MY STAGGERFORD JOURNAL By jon hassler.256pp. Ballantine. $14. What is any artist but the dregs http://www.planetpeschel.com/Reviews/Writing/staggerford.htm

Knowing Too Much By Bill Peschel MY STAGGERFORD JOURNAL By Jon Hassler. Ballantine. $14. "What is any artist but the dregs of his work?" the author William Gaddis said. I wish Jon Hassler had remembered that before publishing "My Staggerford Journal," the tearings from his diary he kept in 1975 when he took a sabbatical from his English professorship to write his first novel. While the book is only 100 pages long, there is very little that is of interest to anyone but fans of his work. Those interested in the artistic process will find little here of interest. Hassler recounts the decisions underlying the writing of "Staggerford" in the fashion of a carpenter building a chair ("Coach Gibbon will talk about sports. Stella about the press box and her dentist. Imogene? Knowledge."). The best parts of the book are things that have nothing to do with writing. He visits Emily Dickenson's home in New England, and spends three weeks in Great Britain and Ireland. He recounts a vacuous committee meeting at the community college where he taught. After a week writing alone, he goes out into the Minnesota snow seeking any kind of social connection. When the book is accepted by Atheneum, he worries that he doesn't know how to pronounce the name. But overall, the best part of Hassler is found in his novels.
