Description
A Novel by Lewis Nordan Algonquin (Paperback; $11.95; ISBN: 1565121821, 9/1997) This heartbreaking novel from award-winning Mississippi writer Lewis Nordan is a meditation upon guns and love. One fateful day in the Delta town of Arrow Catcher, the sweet, simple hero of the book, Hydro Raney, tries his hand with sharpshooting and reveals a deadeye aim. Later in the day, he blows away a brother and sister who are committing a robbery at a country store. "What Nordan alone brings to the page is the courage to use nothing less than black powder prose to blast some sense into us no matter where we've come to ground."―The Miami Herald
