True Cross
Seller: SZ Global, Toronto, ON, Canada
Seller rating 1 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Collectible-Very Good. Infused with his trademark blend of high humor and pensive melancholy, T. R. Pearson once again delivers a richly comic and darkly illuminating tale that reveals the basest of human emotions. A vivid portrayal of small-town life in the American South, True Cross presents the tale of Paul Tatum?an accountant privy to his clients? worst antics, a man content to isolate himself in his own smug superiority, a loner unable to connect with himself or anyone around him, even a stray dog?and Stoney, Paul?s idiosyncratic recluse neighbor and kindred soul. When the two men become fixated on a local damsel in distress, Paul goads Stoney into an inexorable course of action with tragic consequences for all. Seller Inventory # 9780142004784
