John in his favorite bar, Chez Prune, Paris
John Schnick grew up on a farm in Arkansas. He survived his childhood by being a curious smart-ass, and driving his Baptist parents crazy.
These are tales of his upbringing and subsequent split from his roots in the turbulent 60’s, presented in two volumes: Cold Coon & Collards and Lightbulb Coffee. In these books you will find:
Tales of idyllic farm life
Bible thumping revival meetings
Numbing Newfoundland winters
Drug addled epiphanies
Harrowing hitchhiking and freight hopping
Outsider Art adventures
Romance lost and found
Read John’s blog entries, and learn how he managed to remember the good, the bad, and the beautiful.
