From Donald Ray Pollock, writer of the highly acclaimed The Devil All of the Time and Knockemstiff, comes a dark, gritty, electrifying (and, disturbingly, weirdly funny) new book that will solidify his place among the best contemporary American writers. It is 1917, for the reason that sliver of borderland that divides Georgia from Alabama. Dispossessed farmer Pearl Jewett ekes out a hardscrabble lifetime along with his three young sons: Cane (the eldest, handsome, intelligent); Cob (short, heavyset, somewhat poor); and Chimney (the youngest, thin, ill-tempered). Several hundred a long way away in Southern Ohio, a farmer by the name of Ellsworth Fiddler lives along with his child, Eddie, and his partner, Eula. After Ellsworth is swindled out of his family's whole fortune, his life is placed on a surprising, remarkable, and violent trajectory that will directly lead him to mix paths with the Jewetts. No good will come than it. Or did it? In the Gothic tradition of Flannery O'Connor and Cormac McCarthy, with a healthy dosage of cinematic assault reminiscent of Sam Peckinpah, Quentin Tarantino, and the Coen Brothers, the Jewetts and the Fiddlers will find their lives colliding in ever more dark and horrific ways, positioning Donald Ray Pollock solidly together with the genre's literary masters.
