Steve Yarbrough Visible Spirits: A Novel
Vintage 2002 0375725776 / 9780375725777 Trade Paperback Fine
0375725776 8.00x5.20x.65 in. .47 lbs. Publisher Comments: In 1902, in a small community deep in the Mississippi Delta, nearly a generation after the end of slavery, events obscured by time but impossible to forgive or forget echo in the lives of blacks and whites alike. As bound together by history as they are separated by mutual distrust, the citizens of Loring face present tensions as they look toward an uncertain future. Into this charged atmosphere rides Tandy Payne - prodigal son of a prominent planter and brother of the current mayor, and a dissolute gambler looking to reclaim the family estate. When he takes advantage of a perceived slight from the town?s black postmistress, the ensuing clash with his principled brother results in a harrowing confrontation. Fueled by dark and brutal memories, their familial dispute quickly spreads through the countryside. Steve Yarbrough confronts character with morality, reason with blood, in this moving novel that explores the farthest boundaries of human nature. Synopsis: A heart-stopping story, written with grace and lucidity, located at the dead center of Southern mythology and an intransigent national trauma. In a small community deep in the Mississippi Delta, black and white alike struggle to coexist as the era of Reconstruction gives way to Jim Crow. Review: "Invites comparison with Faulkner?s greatest novels." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
