About This Book

A first-person narrator returns to a dusty frontier town with his burro and reunites with familiar locals, notably the sheriff who has launched an inept, barely legible newspaper. The sheriff's misplaced ambitions, a contested election, petty grudges, and conspiratorial plans for a mock obituary set off a chain of comic misadventures among eccentric townsmen. Episodes of bungled journalism, small‑town posturing, and ironic twists on civic responsibility provide a steady stream of dry, anecdotal humor that caricatures frontier life and the foibles of self-appointed community leaders.
