Title: City Limits Touches the Heart and Opens the Eyes
Review: This book is one that many of us can relate to. Many of us have removed ourselves far from our small town roots, and even though we have relocated our lives to bigger and better things, we are constantly reminded that we are, indeed, small town folk. You can take the boy out of the country, but you can never take the country out of the boy. Terry raises goosebumps in almost every chapter, recounting with great detail his experiences of becoming a successful writer in New York City, and more importantly his emotional trips back to his home town.He does a wonderful tribute to Harry Jenks, an understated jazz legend in Kansas City, who, without Teachout's memories may have been overlooked by most Kansas City jazz historians.If mashed potatoes and fried chicken are the "comfort foods", then City Limits by Terry Teachout is definitely one of the Great Comfort Books.
