Eavesdroppings recounts life in the small towns of Ontario before
sin arrived on the Internet - a time when churches were never
locked and parents, not wishing to be disturbed while they listened
to the radio, shooed their children out to play in the dark,
unguarded streets without fear. Here you’ll find comedy, outrage,
and tragedy but no disguise. Included are actual events and the
names of all persons involved. The author tracks the quaint
immorality of smalltown sin in the 1930s and its evolution from
full-frontal bingo in the churches to the current degeneracy of
nude women wrestling men in vats of Jell-O in licensed nightclubs,
but he never moralizes. Indeed, he provides no uplifting messages
at all - just gossip, which, as Oscar Wilde said, "is what history
is all about and more fun."
