Telling It Like It Is is a volume of collected columns that originally appeared as a weekly feature in Topsail Magazine.
E. B. Alston’s commentaries cover a wide variety of topics including childhood memories, hunting dogs and political candidates. Alston paints graphic pictures of his grandparent’s farm and his favorite animals. Anyone with a rural background will identify with these anecdotes, and everyone else will be envious of his roots. His disgust with our current political figures is quite evident, and one can easily imagine him shaking his head in repugnance.
Telling It Like It Is is a good photograph of E. B. Alston. That he is a great story teller is self evident. One realizes he is widely read by his casual references to everything from former prime ministers to Greek mythology. His sense of humor is well developed, and he quite often pokes fun at himself. He is a man of good character and his opinions are delivered in a straightforward, no-nonsense style that is never offensive.
This volume represents E. B. Alston at his very best.
