In his first work of nonfiction since the acclaimed On Fire, Brown aims for
nothing short of ruthlessly capturing the truth of the world in which he has
always lived. In the prologue to the book, he tells what it's like to be
constantly compared with William Faulkner, a writer with whom he shares
inspiration from the Mississippi land. The essays that follow show that
influence as undeniable. Here is the pond Larry reclaims and restocks on his
place in Tula. Here is the Oxford bar crowd on a wild goose chase to a fabled
fishing event. And here is the literary sensation trying to outsmart a wily
coyote intent on killing the farm's baby goats. Woven in are intimate
reflections on the Southern musicians and writers whose work has inspired
Brown's and the thrill of his first literary recognition.
But the centerpiece of this book is the title essay which embodies every
element of Larry Brown's most emotional attachments-to the family, the land,
the animals. This is a book for every Larry Brown fan. It is also an
invaluable book for every reader interested in how a great writer responds,
both personally and artistically, to the patch of land he lives on.
