Jasper Harrick, a tough loner, goes missing in a cave in rural midcentury Tennessee. Warren uses this inciting incident to lay bare the simmering internal conflicts of Harrick‘s family, friends and neighbors as time runs short and every character is forced to face difficult truths. Warren masterfully interweaves layers of drama, suspense, cynicism, humor, despair…and, to my surprise, a powerful sympathy. Fascinating magic from RPW‘s typewriter.
