Bonney's Place

Hale, Leon

Shearer Publishing

These stories, running the gamut of human relationships, the colorful panorama of Texas settings, and a bountiful catalog of unique characters, are evaluated and interpreted by women who each has her own special connection with the state and her own private ringside seat for viewing the tragicomedy we call human experience. Topics, all written by women, include place affecting attitude, feisty women challenging traditional roles, masculine points of view, the sensibilities of children, the gap in understanding between grandparent and grandchild, the tenuous nature of ties between men and women, the ambivalence of family relationships, and contemporary preoccupations of women.

What manner of man is Leon Hale? A "paper man," whose regular column in The Houston Post has been one of that newspaper's most popular features for more than two decades. A Texan, whose writing celebrates the state and the independent, individualistic people who populate it. An easygoing sort of fellow, whose pieces for the Post reflect his own personal style: straightforward, deceptively simple, unpretentious as a well broken-in boot.And Hale's travels too are an easy going, a relaxed ramble in which he uncovers the simple pleasures of the state and shares them with us. Here Hale goes 'on the road again,' taking us with him across the Grand Prairie, the Piney Woods, the Lower Rio Grande Valley, and other Texas territory as he records the sights and sounds of the state's back ways.Uncommon folk: a bridge-burning sheriff, a country blacksmith, hard-working illegal aliens, a young man dying with quiet grace. Old-time expressions. Tales passed along, of Uncle Rhodie's whiskey-swilling bear, iceskating jaybirds, and other curious animals. These are Hale's subjects as are his own "shirttail days," his growing-up time in West Texas.Hale's theme is happiness - not strived for but come upon easily, naturally, when one lives with a relaxed openness and is alert to the infinite potential for joy in the commonplace.
