David Sedaris channels Thoreau. If this concept intrigues you, you must read At Least in the City Someone Would Hear Me Scream by Wade Rouse. Flamboyantly gay, city loving Wade turns 40 and realizes he is disillusioned with his life. He hates his job and dreams of becoming a writer. Wade decides to change his life and sets new goals that match the tenets and principles that Thoreau set forth in Walden, the book that Wade’s beloved Grandmother read to him during his childhood. While on a vacation in Saugatuck, Wade and his partner Gary spontaneously decide to sell their home in St. Louis and move to rural Michigan, where Wade is sure he will be inspired to write. This always funny, often moving story recounts the misadventures that inevitably ensue in his trying to adapt to country life. A fun, lighthearted read.
