"John Porcellino makes his love of home and of nature the anchors in an increasingly
turbulent world. He slows down and visits the forests, fields, streams, and overgrown
abandoned lots that surround every city. He studies the flora and fauna around us.
He looks at the overlooked. Porcellino also digs deep into a quintessential American
endeavour-the road trip. Uprooting his comfortable life several times in From Lone
Mountain, John drives through the country weaving from small town to small town, experiencing
America in slow motion, avoiding the sameness of airports and overwhelming hustle
of major cities. From Lone Mountain collects stories from Porcellino's influential
zine King-Cat-John enters a new phase of his life, as he remarries and decides to
leave his beloved second home Colorado for San Francisco. Grand themes of King-Cat
are visited and stated more eloquently than ever before: serendipity, memory, and
the quest for meaning in the everyday. Over the past three decades, Porcellino's beloved
King-Cat thas offered solace to his readers: his gentle observational stories take
the pulse of everyday life and reveal beauty in the struggle to keep going."
