What others are saying about Winkies, Toilets and Holy Places:
A classic travel tale, with adventure, misadventure, and
curlie-q unexpected turns in the road. But more than that, it's a
voyage in which a family discovers what matters most to them -
across America, and Europe, without a dime to spare - this is not
the travel of pretty picture books: from marital squabbles to
homesick children, from a haunting island monastery to the pure
pleasure of simple farmhouse fare. They travel moment to moment -
some, staggeringly beautiful - gently swinging in cable car above
the Swiss Alps - and others, staggeringly real, as when the cable
car ride makes one of the boys sick to his stomach, with nowhere to
go. All of this, Merrill recounts with the gentle humor of an
experienced pastor, the wavering resolve of a stepfather, and the
openhearted joy of a man rekindling his wanderlust. Read this tale
if you're seeking a window to the Europe not of guidebooks and
picture books, but of human hearts finding that home is
everywhere.

Running Away was the winner of the 2004 Mary McCarthy Prize in
Short Fiction.
