Footloose and Curious

While on a research assistantship in Alabama, author Henry Hamilton responded to a storytelling competition held by the NPR radio program, Sundial, Huntsville, Alabama. He won the competition, which led to a five-year stint as a storyteller on Sundial. Many of those varied and eclectic stories, poems, and vignettes are gathered here in this book, bringing together experiences from his childhood and through his work and travels to 50 countries across North Africa, the Balkans, Central Asia, and Europe.
