Ten years after it was first announced, Dzanc is proud to deliver the lost novel from a master of the Southern Gothicβthe work William Gay fans have anticipated for a decade.
Billy Edgewater is a harbinger of doom. Estranged from his family, discharged from the Navy, and touched by a rising desperation, he sets out hitchhiking home to East Tennessee, where his father is slowly dying.
On the road separately are Sudy and Bradshaw, brother and sister, and a one-armed con man named Roosterfish. All, in one way or another, have their pasts and futures embroiled with D.L. Harkness, a predator in all the ways there are. Hounded at every turn by scams, vigilantes, grievous loss, and unspeakable violence, Edgewater navigates the long road home, searching for a place that may be nothing but memory.
Hailed as βa seemingly effortless storytellerβ by the New York Times Book Review and βa writer of striking talentβ by the Chicago Tribune, William Gay, with this long-awaited novel, secures his place alongside Faulkner, OβConnor and McCarthy as one of the greatest novelists in the Southern Gothic tradition.
