A Wayward Journey

Local author tells a captivating tale.

House of Coates, by Brad Zellar, follows a wanderer named Lester B. Morrison as he documents his life in a rural and seemingly desolate community. The aesthetic of the book’s publisher, Coffee House, is exemplified perfectly: poetry-prose that captures the reader’s attention. Throughout the book are beautiful images that correspond to Lester’s personal and emotional experiences: “In the crucible of persecution and loneliness, both philosophy and intensely personal theologies are born.” —Matt Keliher, assistant manager at SubText Bookstore, 165 Western Ave. N.; 651.493.2791.
