Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter (P.S.)

There is a pervasive sadness in this book. Larry Ott is a heartbreakingly lonely, bullied character who desperately wants to belong. He and Silas are almost-friends despite living in a community that eschews friendship between the races. Tom Franklin tells their story in a seamless confluence of past and present. This is a novel for anyone who likes character-driven books with a heart.
