Kevin Kling’s first book, The Dog Says How, brought readers into his wonderful world of the skewed and significant mundane. His second book, Holiday Inn, is a romp through a year of holidays. “Kevin Kling’s stories are not merely delightful. They are surprising, wise and redemptive. He is one of our great national treasures.”
– Krista Tippett, public radio host and founder of Speaking of Faith.
