The Long Home

“It grew darker still and the world blurred and vanished in blue murk, then a cold December moon cradled up out of the apple orchard and hung like a corpse candle over the haunted wood.”
William Gay’s THE LONG HOME is full of passages like that, the types of passages I long to write myself. This was my first time reading William Gay, and I plan to read more of his work for sure.
Fans of William Faulkner, Flannery O’Connor and Ron Rash would do well to read William Gay.

"So far it has EVERYTHING: dancing chickens, bootlegging, old men sitting on porches in the rain, people getting shot in the eye. Golly, do I love me some poetic hard scrabble Southern Gothic literature!"
