Charlie:
Let's assume you read it at the Broward County Library where
it can be checked out for reading within the library. And
you're right, it is a great book--probably Willeford's best.
Unbelievably grim, and harrowing as you said. And it fits
with the theme of the self- destructiveness of an artist who
refuses to compromise--in this case the routine Hoke Mosely
had chosen to live out his life.
