"The place is Skull Valley in central Arizona, the time the 1930s. Taking food as his theme, John Weston paints an instructive and often hilarious portrait of growing up, of rural family life under difficult circumstances, and of a remote Arizona community trying to hold body and soul together during tough times. His book recalls life in a lineman's shack, interlaced with "disquisitions on swamp life, rotting water, and the complex experience of finding enough to eat during the Great Depression."".
"Through this smorgasbord of memories, stories, and recipes, John Weston has fashioned a commentary on American culture, both in an earlier time and in our own. Dining at the Lineman's Shack is a book that will satisfy any reader's hunger for the unusual - and a book to savor, in every sense of the word."--BOOK JACKET.
