does come across in the book, and I know what you mean about wanting to remember some of the things he wrote. He certainly has a way with words!
When I was in high school and living about an hour's drive from Chadron, in Alliance, I attended a year at Chadron Prep, which was the high school associated with the college. Our teachers were CSC professors. I hung out with Prep kids, Chadron High kids, and also kids from Chadron Assumption Academy, the Catholic school.
One of my Assumption friends was Steve Lecher - "Hazel Devine," the armless car salesman in the book. Sometimes a bunch of us would ride around and drink beer, and it was usually in Steve's car, with Steve driving. He was always barefoot, and he accelerated with one foot and steered with the other. When he talked, he gestured with his feet, the way most people do with their hands. Besides being amazing, he was a lot of fun, and also quite a character. I loved reading about him the book. Poe portrayed him perfectly, just as he did everyone else.
