A Year with the Hoopers - E-book - ePub

A large box is thrown from a passing van into a yard. Inside the box, the yard's owner finds some worthless junk packed with a tremendous amount of shredded paper. Enraged, he hires two local teenagers to scan the shreds into his computer, he uses special software to reassemble the shreds, and he publishes the most private and embarrassing documents about the litterbugs, the Hoopers. I Hoovered the carpet, shot some hoops, watched Hoosiers, listened to John Lee Hooker, and then lunched at Hooters, where among all the hoopla I read A Year With the Hoopers, which was a hoot.- Tom Robbins, author of "Jitterbug Perfume""A Year With The Hoopers" is a hilarious collection of letters, lists, school essays, notes, greetings cards, e-mails, newspaper clippings, medical reports, legal instruments, journal entries, inscriptions and more as provided by John, Helen, and Jenny Hooper.
Tactfully presented by Hoby, "A Year With The Hoopers" tells the tale of one man's discovery of a box having been thrown from a van which contains several random objects of little value, as well as an extensive supply of shredded paper as packing. "A Year With The Hoopers" is a collection of the scanned and re-assembled papers found in that box, and for its fun and inventive plot and story, "A Year With The Hoopers" is very highly recommended among modern fiction and satirical works.- Midwest Book Review
