Description

Letters from the Sourdough Bagel comprises some forty pieces, each of which began as a letter to my friends. Whatever the content of the stories — some humorous, others questioning, a few outrageous — all are marked by the warmth and intimacy associated with reading a letter, a moment akin to conversing with a friend.

About the author

“At my age some say the best years are gone. Perhaps. But I wouldn't want them back. True, I awaken at the wrong times and fall asleep when I should not. I don’t believe much of what I once did. But there remains a bit of memory, a recollection of old stories told many times and waiting to be told again, an awareness of all that might have been. And a fire that burns more brightly than it ever did before.”Ron Evans

Ron Evans was born in Saskatchewan in 1936. With the exception of four years in a parish, his working life was spent as a chaplain and teacher in psychiatric and general hospitals in Houston, California, and Saskatchewan. In another life, he would ask to have the courage to be an actor or join the circus; as it was he got only as far as the church. He and his wife Norma live at Shields, a village south of Saskatoon on the edge of Blackstrap Lake in Saskatchewan.
