The New York Times Book Review (NYTBR) features “Marinating in Dream Sauce” by Grant Handgis

Grant Handgis’ life-changing read, “Marinating in Dream Sauce,” was featured in the November issue of The New York Times Book Review.
Current non-fiction and fiction books are reviewed in The New York Times Book Review (NYTBR), a weekly paper magazine supplement to the Sunday edition of The New York Times (an American daily newspaper with a worldwide readership reported in 2020 to be a growing 6 million paid digital subscribers). It is one of the most well-known and significant book reviews in the business.
Grant Handgis has been writing since an early age, with the first publication of Boy’s Life in 1961. Being an Air Force brat was a tremendous help in developing a sense of humor in life, which shaped his writing style. Early mentors of the craft were Erma Bombeck and Dave Barry.
Writing has become a part of his life’s expression. The most difficult book to write was the memoir. As a metaphor of this nature, the author has remained behind the lens as a lifelong photographer. Because of this, humor devises a way to mingle with reality to make it seem more palatable to one’s senses.
The author spent thirty years as a commercial photographer, a poke in the eye to his writing senses, although with retirement comes grand reversals in life, and once again, the words flow. It is in this style that the words flow, extemporaneously, in a “stream of consciousness” style. If there are other ways, bless their hearts. Satire is built into the author’s words.
Currently, as a writer, a novel is taking shape, along with some fresh poetry. Perhaps the third book of poems is on the way; perhaps the best is yet to come.
The US Review of Books commended Grant Handgis’ book, “Marinating in Dream Sauce,” saying that “When reading this book, it soon becomes evident that the author has put a lot of time and sincerity into this recounting of his life story. His openness in sharing his worries, challenges, and successes works to evoke sympathy in readers.”
“The final philosophical section may appeal to self-help readers as it speaks of his metamorphosis into a super confident person who is happy to share his advice on how to understand life.”
