In the storytelling tradition of Ellison & McCourt, with his first effort, Devlon E Waddell offers a collection of captions chronicling a creative life in process. Using essays, short stories and some poetry as the foundation for this work, he captures the essence of his own 'coming of age' tale. Witty, heart-rending and deeply honest, Syrup Sandwich: a life of measured progression offers the young adult a snapshot into the potential pitfalls & promise of the maturation process. And, for the more seasoned reader, this work breathes an air of nostalgia into life's doldrums.
