Lies of the Land: The Truth of the Matter

Lies of the Land by Dick Hoskins is an entertaining book of short stories stretched from here to there by an honest to goodness professional liar. It will make you scratch your head and wonder if you’ve been had. True to his calling, Hoskins has polished his past for collection that leads you through a gallery of colored pictures of his boyhood on the family farm and after. With humor and heart, he writes of bumblers, signposts, threshing rigs, grits and grand children. Tilted tales masterfully engineered by a straight-up storyteller. — from book’s back cover
