Book Overview

by Larry Woiwode (Author)

His real name is not Poppa John. His life has been built upon a variety of disguises. Close to seventy, wise, crotchety, troubled, outspoken, he is one of those elusive individuals whose very shifts and turnings serve to make him more himself and entirely unique. Compressed, music-like, lit with humor, Poppa John is a small book of awesome content and dimension.
