Encounters With Old Coyote by Laura Koerber – Review by Tausha Treadway

Encounters with Old Coyote by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Encounters With Old Coyote by Laura Koerber. This is a wonderful collection of 13 short stories or episodes with the same main character. She’s a 70 year old professor named Andrea or actually Andrea’s ghost. Andrea decides she wants to die in the Nevada desert under the starts. That is the story that begins it all. She also sees a spirit called Coyote and he wants to hear stories of Andrea’s life. The other stories are those…one being a camping trip to Arkansas (which was one of my favs, because I live in Arkansas), stealing a dog and stories of getting drunk on beauty. Andrea keeps asking Coyote about the afterlife and he keeps avoiding it at all costs. Such a different book that I was not expecting. In the final story we meet other spirits and they set the closing of the book. I was very surprised that I enjoyed this book as much as I did! Do yourself a favor and read this interesting and thought provoking book!
