Produktinformationen zu „Notes of a Self-Seeker (ePub)“

If you thought 2020 was a bad year, welcome to 1968.

Report, write, drink. Repeat.

This cycle is the rhythm of newspaper reporter Bud Willis's life, a familiar but discordant rhythm that leads him from job to job until it eventually lands him in a frigid Yankee backwater working under an editor who's brilliant but volatile. Willis is both outsider and insider, a Southerner getting the scoop in a Northern state, a chronicler of events but also the one who decides what events to record, and how to record them.

In a time before the internet and cable news, when newspapers were one of the major arteries through which information reached the public, Willis covers everything from town meetings to Vietnam War protests and Robert Kennedy's assassination.

Before long his insider-outsider status has him caught between a secretive, secluded local commune and the ambitious police chief and state's attorney who want to bust the commune to further their own careers. And to make matters worse, Seymour, the managing editor Willis has come to admire, is in an all-out war to prevent his newsroom from unionizing.

Notes of a Self-Seeker is the story of a divided, polarized country and the individuals who both disseminate and control the news.

Autoren-Porträt von Bill Porter

Bill Porter was born in Russellville, Alabama, and grew up 20 miles north, in Sheffield. He went to the University of the South, and while he did graduate eventually, it took a while because he liked to travel in the spring. He also spent some time in the Marines to avoid the draft, after which he got married and finished his last few credits at Columbia in New York. It was there in the summer of 1964 that he read Vermont was losing population, so he and his wife Ruth headed to the green mountain state and drove all over, delivering his resumé to newspapers. The Rutland Herald hired him at $50 a week as a beginning reporter, and three years later he was the assistant managing editor. In 1973 he moved to Barre as the managing editor of the Herald's sister paper, the Times-Argus, and in 1985 he went out on his own as a writer. He prepared the annual report for Green Mountain Power for twelve years and won a prize for every one. While he was freelancing he also built up his farm, learned to be a pretty good mechanic, wrote a novel, and started Bar Nothing Books with Ruth. Bill had Alzheimer's for five years before he died in 2022, but he never stopped working on the farm.
