The simple tales told in St. Paul writer Jim Heynen's (HIGH-nin's) new collection of short stories may be a good antidote to the horrible news from the sites of the recent terrorist attacks. THE BOYS' HOUSE introduces readers to a group of mischevious Minnesota farm boys. The boys rescue pigs from a blizzard, throw tomatoes at passing cars and feed apples to a blind pony. They also build a house out of junk cast aside by adults. Critics have said Heynen's (HIGH-nin's) tales are as uniquely American as the writings of Mark Twain. Heynen (HIGH-nin) told Minnesota Public Radio's Greta Cunningham, the boys in the book have many adventures.
