It took me about 30 years, but I finally read the first book published by my favorite author. Darker than most of what I’ve read by him but punctuated by moments of laugh out loud country folk humor that I thoroughly enjoy and permeated with poetic beauty and dreamlike mystery. Typical Chappell.

A beautiful and heartbreaking story about a man who seems to be suffering from a mid-life crisis and continues to think about his past to discover how he's become the man he is.
As an alcoholic I can say that I found Chappell's portrayal of the destructive allure of alcohol to be 'spot on.'
