Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter, by Tom Franklin

Tuesday, September 20th, 7PM

 

Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter, by Tom Franklin   Edgar Award-winning author Tom Franklin returns with his most accomplished and resonant novel so far. Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter is an atmospheric drama set in rural Mississippi. In the late 1970s, Larry Ott and Silas "32" Jones were boyhood pals. Their worlds were as different as night and day: Larry, the child of lower-middle-class white parents, and Silas, the son of a poor, single black mother. Yet for a few months in their youth the boys stepped outside of their circumstances and shared a special bond.  

  But then tragedy struck: Larry took a girl on a date to a drive-in movie, and she was never heard from again. She was never found and Larry never confessed, but all eyes rested on him as the culprit. The incident shook the county--and perhaps Silas most of all. His friendship with Larry was broken, and then Silas left town.  

   Now, more than twenty years have passed. Larry, a mechanic, lives a solitary existence, never able to rise above the whispers of suspicion. Silas has returned as a constable. He and Larry have no reason to cross paths until another girl disappears and Larry is blamed again. And now the two men who once called each other friend are forced to confront the past they've buried and ignored for decades.  

   Visitors and new book club members are welcome.

"Joy for Beginners," by Erica Bauermeister    About Joy for Beginners: "Moving, touching, wonderfully written, inspiring to read." -Garth Stein, author of "The Art of Racing in the Rain"

 

   At an intimate, festive dinner party in Seattle, six women gather to celebrate their friend Kate's recovery from cancer. Wineglass in hand, Kate strikes a bargain with them. To celebrate her new lease on life, she'll do the one thing that's always terrified her: white-water rafting. But if she goes, all of them will also do something they always swore they'd never do-and Kate is going to choose their adventures.

 

  Shimmering with warmth, wit, and insight, "Joy for Beginners" is a celebration of life: unexpected, lyrical, and deeply satisfying.

Coming in October!
