Blue Collar, White Collar, No Collar by Richard Ford
A collection of stories about work which chronicles how Americans are employed, how they find work and leave it, refuse it or scorn it, how it defines, fascinates, frustrates and ennobles us. It includes stories that encompass a range of literary styles, and the writers represent a range of ages, ethnic backgrounds, and geographical locations.
"A rich compendium that seeks to define, defend and explain the importance of work using complex characters that range from a veteran waiter aboard a train to a lauded but aging poet seeking his muse in Italy" -- Associated Press "This book is worth a read. I learned a few things, smiled a time or two and made myself a promise to leave very, very good tips for the next delivery man who comes to our house." -- New York Times
