Views from the Turnip Truck

It is widely known that humans are fickle, funny creatures. The majority believe they are the center of their own universe; some take it as far as seeing the world and its people as caterers to their whims. No matter what you believe, we live our lives centered on ourselves, what our past was, what our present is, and what our future will be.

Views from the Turnip Truck is a collection of short essays and prose regarding the nature of human beings. Edwin J. Carrington has observed and noted the extents to which humans will deny their own faults when things grow dire yet praise themselves for their ingenuity and brilliance when things go right. A philosophical blend of prose and narrative, Carrington shares his insights of humanity from a long life of experience as one himself.
