In his new novel, the first since 1991's Never Die, he again displays the master craftsmanship and wickedly brilliant storytelling that have earned him a deserved reputation as a modern master. In Yonder Stands Your Orphan, denizens of a lake community near Vicksburg are beset by madness, murder, and sin in the form of one Man Mortimer, a creature of the casinos who resembles dead country singer Conway Twitty. A killer who has turned mean and sick, he will visit upon this town a wreckage of biblical proportions. The young sheriff is confounded by Mortimer and distracted by his passion for a lovely seventy-two-year-old widow. Only Max Raymond, a weak Christian saxophonist, stands between Mortimer and his further depredations. But who will die, who will burn? Yonder Stands Your Orphan is a tour de force that confirms Barry Hannah's reputation -- as William Styron wrote in Salon -- "an original, and one of the most consistently exciting writers of the post-Faulkner generation." 89897 2001 Yonder Stands Your Orphan total:102|5:16|4:45|3:20|2:16|1:5| 102 357 155 12 817787 0871138115 9780871138118 8 3 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178658463m/817787.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/817787.Yonder_Stands_Your_Orphan 5 1 false Thu Mar 26 10:32:46 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 02:12:23 -0700 2009 Orphan is a beautifully written modern Southern Gothic tale set in Mississippi, with all the good stuff that implies: ex-biker/junkie preachers, fair widows, alcoholic Irish priests who compare themselves to Beckett, insane animal rights activists, violent pimps with fading looks, beautiful torch s...more...]]> 93243 1843540061 9781843540069 89 8 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171253158m/93243.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/93243.Yonder_Stands_Your_Orphan 3 1 false Thu Apr 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 07:10:23 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 18:15:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 817787 0871138115 9780871138118 8 3 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178658463m/817787.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/817787.Yonder_Stands_Your_Orphan 3 0 false Tue Nov 10 10:01:43 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 10:10:45 -0800 2009
Many people I'm close to swear by Barry Hannah. His sentences stone, his proclamations astute and usually off-color. That said, if you didn't grow up fishing with your male relatives then Hannah's choice of subject matter probably won't appeal. ...more...]]> 93243 1843540061 9781843540069 89 8 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171253158m/93243.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/93243.Yonder_Stands_Your_Orphan 3 0 false Sun Jun 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 06:46:16 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 09:55:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 93243 1843540061 9781843540069 89 8 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171253158m/93243.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/93243.Yonder_Stands_Your_Orphan 5 0 false Mon Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Fri Jan 25 20:15:16 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 25 20:20:59 -0800 2008
Hannah's writing style is amazing. It is really like poetry. So concise yet descriptive, his use of old words turned fresh.
