Music of the Swamp - Lewis Nordan

Descriere Music of the Swamp - Lewis Nordan

Nordan focuses his magic and imagination on a single theme--a boy's utterly helpless love for his utterly hopeless father. Lyrically conjures up a Southern-fried childhood that's as dark, hilarious, and affecting as any you're likely to encounter.--Cleveland Plain Dealer. 1992 ALA Notable Book. \n \nThis is not merely a stellar book. It is absolute ballad put to page. --Southern Living \n \nLewis Nordan's fiction invents its own world--always populated by madly heroic misfits. In Music of the Swamp, he focuses his magic and imagination on a boy's utterly helpless love for his utterly hopeless father--a man who attracts bad luck like a magnet. Nordan evokes ten-year-old Sugar Mecklin's world with dazzling clarity: the smells, the tastes, and most surely the sounds of life in this peculiar, somewhat bizarre, Delta town. Sugar discovers that what his daddy says is true: The Delta is filled up with death; but he also finds an endless supply of hope. \n \nAn ALA Notable Book \nMississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Fiction Award\n
