Houle Landon - Living Things - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Black Creek South Carolina: a small town in the swamps that convinces itself that nothing bad has ever happened and nothing bad ever will. Black Creek is the sort of place where young girls roam the streets free to imagine who they are and who they ll become. Where women sell pies and plants at the courthouse square. Where the fire department rescues cats from the tops of electric poles. And what trouble there is they ll tell you stays past the town limits in the run - down house - turned - strip - club and Lake Darpo where certain birds are going extinct. These eleven closely related portraits show that the real threats have long taken root. Black Creek is a place of poignancy and absurdity love and loss loneliness and the brief charges of connection. Its residents will do almost anything to protect what they think is theirs.
