Bøger af John Dempsey

The Dempsey saga continues with the story of one man's love/hate relationship with New York and its varied inhabitants.

Everyday life through the eyes or imagination (reader's discretionary choice) of one man struggling to succeed in love, life and business.

Matchbook continues John Dempsey's unique vision of life on the edge of reason. It could also portray life on the verge of success, but John politely tasks the reader for interpretations. The truth likely resides with his sources, but in true journalistic fashion, John is protecting his sources (or maybe himself). The disquieting yet amusing quality of Dempsey's work is that readers often recognize someone they know, or even themselves in his stories. Therein lies Dempsey's talent; the ability to draw readers into a story that rekindles memories of the way things were, or the way readers always hoped things would never turn out.

Rocko is a butterfly with a mean streak and Red, a proud free-range rooster. They're pals in the barnyard and enjoy exploring and telling stories. Most of their stories are silly but usually contain wisdom and meaning for the other animals and for humans, too-or, as they're called, the "feeding hands." This collection of fifty-six animal stories is shared by an all-knowing narrator who wanders the barnyard and surrounding countryside reporting on the animals' activities, personalities, conflicts, and encounters with predators. True, it can be a lot of fun on the farm, but there are dangers, too. For instance, Josephine the rabbit tells her babies about the ogre that lives in the woods. There are butterflies, bugs, grubs, ducks, geese, and chickens, all sharing the farm with Rocko and Red. Young readers will enjoy the antics of the barnyard animals and their wild neighbors while learning a few things at the same time.
