Living Life the Hard Way
What an unusual premise for a book ? burning down the homes of prominent authors. What an unusual character ? Sam Pulsifer, a ?bumbler? who takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions as he goes from one life crisis (and fire) to another. You pity him for his circumstances, you?re annoyed with him for his weaknesses, and you admire him for his perseverance. The Arsonist?s Guide becomes Sam?s guide for life ? a somewhat humorous guide to living life the hard way.
