""This is not merely a stellar book. It is absolute ballad put to page.""
-Southern Living
Lewis Nordan's fiction invents its own world--always populated by madly heroic
misfits. In Music of the Swamp, he focuses his magic and imagination on a boy's
utterly helpless love for his utterly hopeless father--a man who attracts bad
luck like a magnet. Nordan evokes ten-year-old Sugar Mecklin's world with
dazzling clarity: the smells, the tastes, and most surely the sounds of life in
this peculiar, somewhat bizarre, Delta town. Sugar discovers that what his daddy
says is true: ""The Delta is filled up with death""; but he also finds an
endless supply of hope.
