Review
Praise for Wilcox:
‘Like Anne Tyler, Wilcox writes with a compassion best expressed in the willingness to laugh at his characters’ foibles.’
New York Newsday
‘Mr Wilcox has real comic genius.’
Ann Tyler
‘Wilcox conveys the paradoxical sense that human life may be random and absurd but that to capture that absurdity exactly in just the right words is to conquer it.’
Mirabella
From the Back Cover
A candidate for the office of Superintendent of Streets, Parks, and Garbage, middle-aged matron Olive Mackie of Tula Springs, Louisiana, finds her political aspirations thwarted when her ninety-one-year-old Great Uncle L.D. comes under suspicion for murder. Police don't believe that L.D.'s home-care attendant would commit suicide by jumping from a second-floor window -- but Olive, who has heard her uncle demonstrate his excellent memory by reciting important dates in history over and over, thinks he would. Before justice can be done, half the staff of City Hall, a home ec teacher, an uninspired dentist, the principal of a disreputable private school, and several adulterous housewives are implicated in James Wilcox's spectacular comic plot, his third exuberant Tula Springs novel.
