Way Out Here in the Middle
John Roach

A ten-year slice of a Boomer's life. Award-winning screenwriter and columnist John Roach turns his keen eye to the soul of the Midwest in his first book of essays, Way Out Here in the Middle. Soccer dad, poker player, romantic—Roach delivers poignant and hilarious observations about life in the slow lane. He begins by extolling the virtues of turning the big 4-0: "I'm not afraid of sex. I don't have to live with nine other guys. My car starts." And is even more grateful to reach 50:,"Hell, the only reason I'm living is because of penicillin." John Roach is a Madison native and television producer. He co-wrote the screenplay for the movie, The Straight Story. The 50 columns in this book originally appeared in Madison Magazine. More...
