In thirty-three stories bristling with seething irreverence, dark humor and heart-rending vulnerability, Jim Fraiser paints an unforgettable picture of the people inhabiting his native Mississippi Delta. From poignant tales-- a self-absorbed actor meets his match; an unsuspecting family awaits a fateful date with the storm of the century; a woman begs mercy for her wayward son; to the fantastic and absurd--a long dead 19th Century frontiersman surfaces in modern day Greenwood; the greatest sage of antiquity dispenses words of wisdom in a popular 21st Century restaurant; and a hammer-wielding Norse god wreaks havoc in a downtown bar--Fraiser enlists a terse narrative style and gritty, realistic dialogue to bring his quirky and enigmatic Deep South characters to life, death and beyond.
