"This is the story of the fierce and beautiful Teena, and the story of Krusack, the great friend, but mostly it is the story of Jencic, the big slow man who was a Croat, or a Polack, or perhaps a Hungarian. No one ever knew, he least of all." After Williamson's second and third novels were panned by the critics for being too poetic, he produced Hunky, a more simply written tale of a blue collar protagonist who discovers what life was meant to be all about. The author was born on the Nez Perce Indian Reservation in Northern Idaho to European parents. He ran away at age 14 and lived the hobo's life, eventually becoming a treasure hunter in Peru, a circus hand, reporter for a San Francisco paper, and text book author. EB; 8vo 8"-9" tall; 312 pages.
