For his seventh novel, Clyde Edgerton returns to the setting of his own childhood--rural North Carolina at mid-twentieth century. This beguiling novel tells the story of a tight-knit crossroads community and what happens when a quick-change artist stops for gas and an oil check, sees opportunities, and decides to stop there for a while. \"You'll spend a lot of time laughing and wiping your eyes and reading passages aloud to anyone who'll listen.\"--Boston Globe; \"This may be Edgerton's best novel ever. I say that each time I finish one of his books.\"--Newark Star-Ledger ; \"Edgerton, evoking Flannery O'Connor, composed chatty, tone-perfect tales of small town life that illuminate the knife edge between satire and nostalgia.\" --Entertainment Weekly; \"A slyly satiric and artful story . . . Edgerton reveals the innocent, the deluded, and the hypocritical with an unerring sense of humor and truth.\"--Publishers Weekly; \"In the pitch-perfect tradition of Flannery O'Connor and William Faulkner, Edgerton spins things wildly, masterfully, hilariously out of control.\"--Maxim.","brand":"Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063942660336,"sku":"9781565120617","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781565120617_p0.gif?v=1763767272","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781565120617","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
