I’d judge this to be from the 1990’s. It’s a very fun and funny history of trailers (some mention of manufactured houses and tiny homes, but Trailers). Partial-color photograph on front shows an elderly woman planting flowers in her repurposed commode, no a flowerpot, in front of her trailer. The epilogue is, for a reason I’ve forgotten, the story of someone who watched a wolf take a piece of wool between his teeth and back slowly into a lack and submerge himself; the observer figuring the wolf knew his fleas would move to the ball of fuzz (I think lanolin was mentioned).
It is quite a read. The public library has no memory of it, even in records. Online there is nothing at all resembling it. Please help!
Would this be Galloping Bungalows by David Thornburg?
Wish it was! The cover photos are not alike.I’ll check just in case. Thanks.
Ok, screwed up; my husband has found “Cracker Ingenuity”, Elliott and Lowry, to be the book I described. Except it’s not just about trailers. Abject apologies. I still highly recommend this book of satire……
