![]() | Glad News of the Natural World (2005) (The fifth book in the Neely series) A novel by T R Pearson |
| "I can think of no other contemporary writer who offers such surprises -- it is impossible to predict even how a sentence will end. . . . Pearson is surely among the greatest living Southern writers." Haven Kimmel |
Twenty years ago, T. R. Pearson's A Short History of a Small Place was hailed as "an absolute stunner" (Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post) and its hero, young Louis Benfield, was dubbed "a youth not as wry as Holden Caulfield, but certainly as observant, and with a bigger, even sadder heart" (Fran Schumer, The New York Times).
Now, older but not necessarily wiser, Louis Benfield returns in Glad News of the Natural World. Having moved to New York City from his hometown of Neely, North Carolina, in order to get a sense of the larger world, Louis is a modern-day Candide, looking for love and experience in all the wrong places. However, when tragedy strikes, he finds the maturity needed to be more than man enough for the job.
