In the 1970s and 1980s, before he earned national acclaim
for his award-winning novels, Pete Dexter was a newspaper
columnist. Every week, in a few hundred words, Dexter cut
directly to the heart of the American character at a time of
national turmoil and crucial change. With haunting urgency,
his columns laid bare the violence, hypocrisy, and
desperation he saw on the streets of Philadelphia and in the
places he visited across the country. But he reveled, too,
in the lighter side of his own life, sharing scenes with the
indefatigable Mrs. Dexter, their young daughter, and a
series of unforgettable creatures who strayed into their
lives. No matter what caught Dexter's eye, it was
illuminated by his dark, brilliant humor.
