Korby Lenker’s first book, Medium Hero, features 27 stories culled from his 15 years as a solo touring indie musician. The stories are as colorful as his titles suggest-- “Rat’s Dude”, “Manboy and the Mafia Table”, “Catlady”-- and flourish under his descriptive, empathetic pen. From a romantic-encounter-turned-family-crisis, to a humorous eulogy for his recently deceased piano teacher, to an unlikely visit with a convicted felon in a California desert, he has distilled an unusual life that began in Twin Falls, into a few potent vignettes that you will read more than once.
