If nothing else, this man can weave a picture with words in a way that puts you right there. "Old Songs" is a collection of short stories Waller wrote while living in Iowa. They run from thoughts when he and his wife were cleaning out their daughter's room after she had left home, to his views on travel and why it can stir your soul. This one will stay on my library shelf!
