Father and Son A Novel

"Larry Brown's 'Father and Son' is a strong and confident book. Brown carries readers resolutely from its beginning to its end, never wavering from the novel's central tale of vilification -cum-degradation....The honesty and clarity of this novel echo Brown's earlier achievements....Here he surpasses them in skillfully blending potentially combustible elements into an epic whose duration is less than a week....Brown lyricizes southern scenes at full tilt; although he occasionally seems precious or overstylized, he never lapses into bucolia....'Father and Son' is a resonantly punchy book that provides equal demands and rewards for its readers."Brown, Larry is the author of 'Father and Son A Novel', published 1997 under ISBN 9780805053036 and ISBN 0805053034.
