True Tales of American Life, an anthology of stories edited by Paul Auster
It's a collection of brief true-life tales written by ordinary Americans. Auster launched a radio program to read out the tales of the people to the people. Citizens from all walks of life were encouraged to send in tales on any subject, so long as they were true. He was immediately swamped by the response, and used the best letters to make this book.
Some of these stories will make you laugh, some will touch your heart, some will make you cry and some will bore you senseless. It’s a lucky dip. But with each story only taking a minute to read you will never feel you've wasted your time.
So if you’re bored of the usual, and want to try something entertainingly human get yourself a copy.
