Title: Savored Second Time
Product review: I knew I would read this again--I raced through it the first time--and it certainly holds up to a more deliberate perusal. The detailed, poetic descriptions of Knoxville in the 1950s are worth slowing down for and savoring. How can bleakness be made so beautiful?We know there have been comparisons to Faulkner--my edition's cover reminds us so--but I would add Thomas Wolfe as well. Who else could write so rapturously about everyday things?
