โ๏ธ Artist and reviewer for Readersโ Favorite Nancy Tobin had this to say about MUSINGS:
Sol Luckman has eloquently written a witty, insightful memoir in MUSINGS FROM A SMALL ISLAND: EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN. As an art major, I thoroughly enjoyed Solโs humor and philosophical thoughts on the elusive purpose of art and his expression of life on his small island. His love of bodysurfing and descriptions of the tourist environment at the beach were hilarious and an observation I share, having lived in Florida for many years. I laughed out loud for the first fifty pages. This book is not all humor, though. In this open display of musings by Sol, he bares his soul and reveals some of his struggles with a nasty funk and how he used bodysurfing to overcome personal challenges.
MUSINGS FROM A SMALL ISLAND hit a distinct chord with me. I must be a kindred spirit (or perhaps a spirit animal?). His sarcasm had me grinning as his thoughtful descriptions of touristsโ bicycle etiquette, country music, palmetto trees, politics, cell phones, and life, in general, delighted me because I so agree with him. This justifiably opinionated author is a prolific artist, poet, and mixologist. And as if that isnโt enough, thereโs more. The art stands alone. I loved his paintings! The simplicity of his work falls somewhere between abstract, modernist, and minimalist. His work is so good that I left the book briefly to research his website, where I found more than five hundred examples of his colorful portrayals of life. It was a joy reading the musings of Sol Luckman. So joyous, Iโll reread it. I may even buy one of his paintings.
โThis is how we grow as individuals and as a species: not by arrogantly seeing ourselves as big fish in little ponds, but by humbly realizingโand allowing ourselves to be empowered by the ideaโthat weโre nothing but sardines navigating an endless ocean of change.โ
โAs Iโve aged, Iโve come to prefer the idea to the reality of human company. Sometimes Iโd prefer living on a deserted island.โ
๐ฅ Luckmanโwhose latest novel, CALI THE DESTROYER, won a whopping eight book awardsโshowcases his literary and painterly talents in this one-of-a-kind story of an uncommon life on the fair shores of Hilton Head Island, a world-famous vacation destination nestled in the Deep South.
๐ Think Peter Mayle mixed with Anthony Bourdain combined with John Berendt with a little Henry Miller thrown in for good measure โฆ and at least youโll have a vague notion of whatโs in store for you in these unprecedented pages.
โThe next time you glimpse what looks like lunch from a Mexican street vendor being windblown toward you on the waves, swim the hell out of thereโfast.โ
โ๏ธ Combining fascinating autobiography, hilarious comedy and inspirational philosophy (to say nothing of a handful of excellent craft cocktail recipes ๐น), MUSINGS FROM A SMALL ISLAND is also a stunningly visual coffee table book any Lowcountry lover or contemporary art aficionado would be proud to display.
โThe drip-drip-drip of news of a hurricane approaching a home one has left behind is enough to make the most balanced person experience mental illness. Iโd recommend a full lobotomy over that modern form of Chinese water torture.โ
๐ Youโve never read a book like this because, until now, there hasnโt been one.
โBodysurfing is like life: you either learn or you crash and burn. Or sometimes you crash and burn and thatโs how you learn.โ
๐ Seen from Luckmanโs charmingly eccentric perspective, Hilton Head comes alive in ways few places do in literature or art.
โBeing fake doesnโt make you an artist. It just makes you fake. And estrangement has nothing to do with acting strange. The weirder you seem on the outside, the more normal you probably are on the inside.โ
