Cinnamon Buns and Milk Bone Underwear: And Other Whimsical Wanderings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780910355674)

So what's the connection between spiders, myths, and Burt Lancaster's teeth? Or Scarlett O'Hara and Greta Garbo's feet? James Scott Bell is glad you asked.

The author of Some People Are Dead: Part Essay, Part Memoir, Parts Unknown, gives us a new collection in the unique style he calls Whimsical Wanderings. These are writings that riff and ponder, like jazz. The melody may change, but the beat is unmistakably alive. These are free-range essays that wander through memory, culture, baseball, marriage, music, and metaphysics-sometimes in the same paragraph.

In these pages, you'll meet Aunt Bebe and her Bean Bowl, the Andrews Sisters at the ballpark, Einstein on a box top, and a young man (spoiler alert, the author) who once drove a fire hazard to the high school prom.

This book is for readers who like their humor thoughtful, their philosophy sideways, and their reading pleasure sprinkled with laughter.

"Some of us have to ponder before we pontificate, but James Scott Bell can produce a paragraph of clever quips faster than Oscar Wilde or Dorothy Parker. In Cinnamon Buns and Milk Bone Underwear you'll find some of his best whimsical wanderings. Guaranteed to make you smile!" - Angela Hunt, New York Times Bestselling Writer
