Edisto (FSG Classics) Book
A novel that has drawn comparisons with the work of J. D. Salinger, Truman Capote, and Flannery Oâ??Connor, Edisto centers on one Simons Everson Manigault, a twelve-year-old possessed of a vocabulary and sophistication way beyond his years and a preadolescent bewilderment with the behavior of adults. These include his mother, who is known as the Duchess, and his enigmatic father-surrogate, Taurus.

(Walker Percy).Read More
