Title: Browining sugarcoats life in a mill village
Product review: If you title your book "Linthead"--a truly ugly term--you suggest that you will have something to say about the stereotypes that thousands of textile workers have had to endure over the decades. But Browning's life seems to have been nothing but ball games and front porches, a sunny slice of Americana that could have happened anywhere (especially on tv--this is smalltown America as black and white tv imagined it). Browining just doesn't seem to get it: for people who were not talented ballplayers or who otherwise lacked the skills he was fortunate to have, life on a mill hill was not edenic.
