Description

In this extreme, intriguing tale, Burke uses the lives of three young La males, all of whom sees herself in desperate conditions. There is Avery Broussard, the final survivor of the group of once productive land-owners, who includes a weakness for booze; J.P. Winfield, an undesirable vocalist and guitarist who rises to fame being a country-music superstar, simply to be ruined by substance habit; and Toussaint Boudreaux, a dark longshoreman who moonlights as a heavyweight fighter. The destinies of those males are unfortunately connected in this debut book that displays Burkeis outstanding and now-familiar design.
