À propos de ce produit
Product Information
In the tradition of Cormac McCarthy and Flannery O'Connor, Bill Cheng's Southern Cross the Dog is an epic literary debut in which the bonds between three childhood friends are upended by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. In its aftermath, one young man must choose between the lure of the future and the claims of the past. Having lost virtually everything in the fearsome storm-home, family, first love-Robert Chatham embarks on an odyssey that takes him through the deep South, from the desperation of a refugee camp to the fiery and raucous brothel Hotel Beau-Miel and into the Mississippi hinterland, where he joins a crew hired to clear the swamp and build a dam. Along his journey he encounters piano-playing hustlers, ne'er-do-well Klansmen, well-intentioned whores, and a family of fur trappers, the L'Etangs, whose very existence is threatened by the swamp-clearing around them. The L'Etang brothers are fierce and wild but there is something soft about their cousin Frankie, possibly the only woman capable of penetrating Robert's darkest places and overturning his conviction that he's marked by the devil. Teeming with language that renders both the savage beauty and complex humanity of our shared past, Southern Cross the Dog is a tour de force that heralds the arrival of a major new voice in fiction.

Excellent communication from moment of purchase to delivery. I cannot praise Duane from the-book-depot enough. The book arrived in perfect condition all the way from Memphis to the UK due to excellent protective packaging. What I didn’t expect was how beautifully and thoughtfully my book was wrapped and all of the extra personal touches that truly made my day and put the biggest smile on my face.

I have been buying and selling on ebay for 24 years, almost a quarter of a century. ebay was only 5 years old at the time. Having completed well over a thousand transactions as a buyer and seller, I can say with confidence that this was hands down the most thorough, thoughtful, packaging on an item I have ever seen. Would definitely buy from again and would heartily refer this seller to others who read this review. Thank you!
