I always enjoy RHJ pieces. No two are alike and this one is a masterpiece. My only regret is its a short story and not a novel. Do us all a favor Bob, write a novel!

Beautiful piece. Those 10,000 boys changed the course of history; I love how RHJ admits feeling proud and sad. The river changed its course, but the bridge stayed and the beach stayed and it’s all so terribly sad and wasteful and real. Matthew’s painting, while not of Normandy evokes that same sense of loss. Mr. Jones can evoke strong feelings in very simple and true ways.

In this ever-changing world, there’s nothing more timeless than a sweater girl.

A fascinating story. I find it very interesting that the nature of the writing itself (the slight ramble of memory, the circuitous patterns of the storytelling) is indicative of the speaker himself; through the diction, we get a glimpse into the mind of the innocent but impulsive addict. Well done!

One of my favorite RHJ pieces. There is so much emotional detail in so few words; I feel I know what each character is feeling at every single moment (maybe even Maurice.) I love how the kid’s pitching allows the two adults to connect. RHJ writes with elegance and simplicity; every word is there for a reason; if you took one word out or added one word – it might change the total composition. A true miniaturist with words.

I read “the Good Nazi” while I was at the Weekapaug Inn, albeit now newly restored.The story captures the Inn’s atmosphere perfectly and
the ending is memorable. I see Christolph Waltz playing the Good Nazi.

A warm, comfortable stroll thru the crannies if our memories. Well done/guided, old timer.

This story is sufficient motivation to seek skulking cancer to kick the shit out of. It is human and compassionate as it looks into the canyon of death beautifully written and manages to leave us hanging without a great deal of resentment m
