    <body><![CDATA[I've finally found a contemporary author to fall in love with.  His name is William Gay, and he writes like Faulkner fucking Flannery O'Connor while Erskine Caldwell is sitting in the corner playing with himself.  In other words, he's God damned amazing.

I intended to read Gay's latest novel Twilight based on several recommendations, but I decided to start with his debut.  Most reviewers here have this right.

I'll take a tiny issue with it on in two areas: first, the caustic pit that opens in the first pages had me puzzled, as in, what was that all about? For me it was an annoyance. I'll leave it at that. second, yes there was &quot;gore and blood&quot;, but I ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53883476">more...</a>]]></body>
