Title
Don'T Shoot The Gentile,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
When James Work took a teaching job at the College of Southern Utah in the mid1960s, he knew little about teaching and even less about the customs of his Mormon neighbors. For starters, he did not know he was a Gentile, the Mormon term for anyone not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. But just as he learned to be a religious diplomat and a blackmarket bourbon runner, he also discovered that his masters degree in literature apparently qualified him to teach journalism, photography, creative writing, advanced essay and feature article writing, freshman composition, and vocabulary building.With deadpan humor, Work pokes fun at his own navet in Dont Shoot the Gentile, a memoir of his rookie years teaching at a small college in a small, mostly Mormon town. From the first pages, Work tells how he navigated the sometimes tricky process of being an outsider, pulling readersno matter their religious affiliationinto his universal fishoutofwater tale. The title is drawn from a hunting trip Work made with fellow faculty members, all Mormons. When a load of buckshot whizzed over his head, one of the party hollered, Dont shoot the Gentile! Well have to hire another one!Today the College of Southern Utah is a university, and Cedar City, like most small towns in the West, is no longer so culturally isolated. James Work left in 1967 to pursue a doctorate, but his remembrances of the place and its people will do more than make readersMormon and nonMormon alikelaugh out loud. Works memoir will resonate with anyone who remembers the challenges and small triumphs of a first job in a new, strange place.
