Böcker av George Looney

"Dripping with Southern gothic flavors, [these short stories gaze] at the holy and the obscene while plumbing gritty secrets of the human heart. With swamps, alligators, revival tents, faith healers, sex, death, guilt, sin and snakes, Looney leads us through a dark landscape brimming with the miraculous and the peculiar alike"--

Delves into the worlds of birds and mammals, fish and insects, looking for ways to describe and maybe even understand the various madnesses that love brings. In the lives of the beasts we find much hard evidence of loss and despair, but these fables and parables offer, along the way, absolution and even salvation, of a sort.
