Ron Cooper



Ron Cooper's novel, Hume's Fork, was called by author Ron Rash "one of the funniest novels I've read in a long time" and described by Rebecca Goldstein as a "mix of zaniness and erudition, satire and insight."

“Cocoon

Wrap yourself in a cocoon of warmth where loving thoughts reside with tender graces. Create your own peace. Hold to it fast. Always.”
Ron Cooper

“His most famous lines became popular expressions in Mexico. He would say, “Usted no se despreocupe”—“Don’t un-worry yourself.” And my favorite: “Ni modo chato!”—“No worries, dude!”
Ron Cooper, Finding Mezcal: A Journey into the Liquid Soul of Mexico, with 40 Cocktails
