Thin Blue Smoke: A Novel about Music, Food, and Love, Paperback

Descriere

This title is an epic American redemption tale about love and loss, hope and despair, God and whiskey, barbecue and the blues. La Verne Williams is a ruined ex-big league ballplayer, an ex-felon with an attitude problem, and the owner of a barbecue joint he has to run. Ferguson Glen is an Episcopal priest, a fading literary star with a drinking problem, and a past he is running from. A. B. Clayton and Sammy Merzeti are two lost souls in need of love, understanding, and another cigarette. Hilarious and heart-rending, sacred and profane, this book marks the emergence of a vital new voice in American fiction.
