One Zero Charlie: Adventures in Grass Roots Aviation

Laurence Gonzales

Simon & Schuster, 2007

Great Book about Flying and Aerobatics
Some may not like the emphasis of the book, but for what it does describe, it does very well. In fact, I'm hard pressed to think of a better book in this area. The recent Joshua Cooper Ramo book "No Visible Horizon" was an extremely poor effort by comparision. I ...

Sex, drugs, &rock & roll in their highest literary form.
Jambeaux is an enthralling, thought-provoking portrait of the drug-and-sex crazed madness of the rock&roll world. Gonzales hypnotizes his readers and leads them through a plastic nightmare world that becomes all too real because of the universality of his characters' ...

The Hero's Apprentice: Essays

Laurence Gonzales

University of Arkansas Press, 1994

Larry Brown, author of Big Bad Love and On Fire, loved it!
"Some writers have it, some don't, and Mr. Gonzales definitely does. In here are the best things to be found in writing, the warm and beating hearts of humans. These fine and touching pieces about the occupations of the tribe of man strike fire on every page...." Larry ...
