I agree with him on some things, there are other authors I like better.

Two slightly related tales...
This past week I was the kids speaker at a camp here in Ontario. You know camps... you have to have a nickname. The camp was doing a science based theme. I was reading Dostoevsky's short stories at the time and thought I'd use, Dusty or Evsky or something... the kids are 7-10. SA said, what about Buechner, since it sounds like "beaker", and the science thing... so I was "Beakner" It was cool to hear kids say, "Mr Beakner" sometimes...
And, while there, I took a trip to a used book store and found "The Book of Bebb" all four volumes in one hard cover for the stunning price of $2! When I got to the checkout, the person there says, oh and its 30% off too! I paid 1.47 including tax!
I love him too, though I have to take some stuff he says with a grain of salt... or a bag.

bebb is one of my favorite reoccuring Buechner characters.
its the mopping of the brow the wrinkley old suit that make him so cool.
Feast of Love had some things that were pertty strange-but I could relate to them so well.'
Bebb-concerning travel:
“All the roads in the world are one road when you come right down to it because your dirt tracks, your superhighways, your Park Avenues, the place they all end up is at the same place, and that’s the funeral parlor. We all got that to look forward to before we’re through, and we all got rough places and smooth places both till we get there, so in the meantime let’s stick close to each other while we follow the road to Jesus. This cup I’m hoisting now, its one for the road.”
