The Hunting Accident: A True Story of Crime and Poetry by David L. Carlson
4.0
The Hunting Accident is a memoir about storytelling - stories a father tells his son, stories that are written, and stories everyone tells themselves, but that is where what is clear in this story begins and ends.
At first we are told the father was blinded by a hunting accident (this is untrue).
We are led to believe the story is about the father's life (much of it is about a prisoner whose true crime story was sensationalized in 1924).
I believed this was going to be more of a thriller or a mystery (it is really more of a drama that humanizes prisoners and and gives us a glimpse into what it must be like to be blind).
There is really interesting story-telling here and the art by Landis Blair is
