Music of the Swamp

ALA Notable Book; Mississippi Arts and Letters Fiction Award. Nordan's fiction invents its own world, a world populated by madly heroic misfits. In MUSIC OF THE SWAMP, he focuses his magic and imagination on a single theme—a boy's utterly helpless love for his utterly hopeless father. ""Lordy, Lordy, can Lewis Nordan write!""—Los Angeles Times Book Review; ""It is absolute ballad put to page.""—Southern Living.
