Comment on Wrap Yourself in Winter with ‘The Windward Shore’ by Brad Purcell

Jerry Dennis is in to it, and brings the fortunate reader along for the walk. Stories, observations, and lessons are seamlessly woven to illustrate how complexities mesh with simplicities in and around us. At the end of many passages I would loudly exclaim: “YES”, as if cheering a great play at a sporting event.
The Windward Shore is so much more than a reverent glimpse of our Great Lakes region and season.

Jerry wields language poetically while deeply unearthing aspects of his subject matter you never knew existed. This is a book you’ll want on your coffee table as it’s as suited for a 5 minute infusion, as it is for an hour long lie down. Grab a few copies; you’ll want to hand them to your friends. – Brad Purcell

Great post! Funny, last week I was spending a lot of time at Kopytek’s blog, trying to find a picture of the Detroit Saks.

Thank you, Megan, for your kind words about Jacobson’s, and the book I wrote about it. Your memories, described so poetically, are similar to those I have heard again and again, when talking about the store with former customers, employees, and even the store’s former management.

Through the book, and in the forthcoming lecture, I hope to express how much Jacobson’s “meant” to our culture and society, and how its loss has impacted us, beyond mere memories of a store.

I truly appreciate your advocacy, and your well-expressed memories of an institution we shouldn’t forget.

Anyone who publishes a first novel at age 70 is my hero!
