Mountain Lake Press will offer two new products this summer. The first is the release of our first audio book: Berto's World, the delightful collection of short stories taken from the early life of Robert Galen. Published last fall, the book has quickly become one of our most popular titles. It explores the unforgettable characters that Galen--aka Berto--meets during his boyhood and young manhood. In the audio version, narrated by Ron David, those characters come to life, as we experience Berto's first haircut with Thomas the Barber, his bittersweet romance with Bernice, his rapt attention to the tales of the Old Guys in Mr. Ruddy's shoe-repair shop, and his introduction to the world of medicine by his legendary mentor, Dr. Agnelli. Equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and achingly sad, Berto's World is a worthy companion to Requiem for the Bone Man and The Legend of Safehaven.
In Dr. Galen's Little Black Bag, we follow the man that Berto Galen has become, as he deals with the pleasures, traumas and tragedies of life in the medical profession. Like Berto's World, it is a collection of stories, but together these stories create a portrait of someone who is deeply dedicated to healing--even as he struggles to heal the hurts and wounds he has suffered over a lifetime. And like the preceding collection, Dr. Galen's Little Black Bag presents basic human truths, dressed of necessity in the cloak of fiction.
We will post ordering information soon on our Purchase Books page. If you wish to be notified when these items are available, please send us an e-mail at orders@mountainlakepress.com.
