Paperback. Condizione: Good. Acclaimed short-story master George Singleton follows the lives and schemes of the citizens of fictitious Gruel, South Carolina, in search of glory, seclusion, money, revenge, and a meaningful existence.

Hilarious and tragic, George Singleton's unforgettable characters try to overcome their limitations as best they can.…
