"Casual Observations is a collection of loosely connected essays and poetry covering topics from sex and aging to international politics. Its tone is warm and sardonic, and its central dialogues entertainingly trace the course of a marriage between the aging narrator and his beautiful younger wife. The book's organization is somewhat cryptic, and many characters are never directly introduced. This format suggests that the book is designed to inspire varying interpretations, a goal at which it succeeds." -Jackie, Elite Editor

Autorenporträt
"You are talking to yourself again, David," she said. "At least it was in Spanish. He laughed. "After years in Colombia I never know what language is coming out of my mouth." "You're only In Bogota six weeks at a time. What comes out back home in Cleveland, Oklahoma?" She sat down on the couch across from his desk. Her four dogs and four cats all tried to jump up on the couch beside her. Nine animals! Grounds for divorce for any sane man he thought not for the first time. "I speak English more or less. Probably why we're still married, we don't live together all the time." "That's not why." She laughed. "You old gringos don't come to Colombia just for the coffee." "For intellectual conversations in Spanish, and you do make good coffee." "David, you're 78 years old. Don't lie to your young, beautiful Colombian wife."
