Synopsis

Three novellas: a low-key fantasy about a magical impressionist and his disguises; a portrait of the enforcers and exploiters of the law in the rural South; and a shaggy-dog account of a Florida tent revival meeting which escalates into a patchwork of grotesquerie and bizarre coincidence.
