John Nichols
John Nichols (1940–2023) was the acclaimed author of the New Mexico trilogy. Beginning with the publication of The Milagro Beanfield War, which was adapted into a film by Robert Redford, the series of novels grew from regional stature to national appeal, from literary radicals to cult classics. Beloved for his compassionate, richly comic vision and admired for his insight into the cancer that accompanies unbridled progress, Nichols was also the author of a dozen novels and several works of nonfiction. He lived in northern New Mexico.

Table of Contents
Foreword
What happened?
If you can’t smell the cheese, something is wrong.
If you aren’t getting a fair share of the cheese, get out of the mine.
You can’t dig cheese if you’re stuck in meetings all day.
The more you want the cheese the lower you may stoop to grab it.
You can’t get cheese without a little digging.
Not everyone likes the same kind of cheese.
You may keep more of your cheese if you stop to sniff it once in a while.
Cheese by any other name still smells.
Playing with cheese toys is more fun than working.
