Description: Recalling the quirky charm of Truman Capote's early fiction, this collection of 10 linked stories introduces a new voice to the Southern literary tradition, one with a lyricism and cadence all its own. Seen through the eyes of Richard, Phillips's winning and irrepressible narrator, these stories take us throughout the deep South -- from North Carolina to Arkansas to the Texas Gulf Coast and then back again -- as we witness Richard's chaotic childhood, his restless youth, and his troublesome attempts to create a family life of his own. At once sad and jubilant, filled with the language of living, these award-winning stories mark the debut of a significant new talent.
