16 years since Hunter left us but his words live on forever, a fantastic gift to all that value the unvarnished truth. This is my reading copy of The Proud Highway, purchased in Denver back in 2005. It lasted through my undergraduate dissertation, MA and PhD on Hunter and his work. It is falling apart and the pages have yellowed with age.
My first reaction: quit my job, buy a fifth of rum, drive further south, probably to the Keys.. and get sick drunk until I can watch this movie 10 times in a row, so that I’ll remember one of them. But it’s okay, because I have two copies of the book.
