Since 2005, Park Burroughs has been keeping in touch daily with readers of his newspaper, answering their questions and complaints on his blog, Grumpy Old Editor. Now these answers, with stories and discourses have been collected into his novel, "Enter, With Torches."

These are stories of humor and heartbreak, about growing up, about the author's own miserable academic performance, the newspaper business, his travels around the world and Burroughs' comical attempts to make sense of it all.
