Rough As a Cob

Rough as a Cob, Ed Williams's second collection of essays, is a fun-filled, wild ride of tales about his growing up in the rural South. You can read about a shotgun attack on a UFO, the trials and tribulations of owning the first flushing toilet in the neighborhood, and see how Ed and his best friends nearly got killed while attending a professional wrestling event. Ed reveals the sanctity of the Super Bowl, and he even recounts the story of a fellow so ugly that Ed's granddad asked him to stay indoors during daylight hours. And these are just the stories we can tell you about.
