A man miraculously survives a fall from the eighth floor of a drilling rig but
is ever after plagued by an unwillingness to live. A preacher loses his ability
to speak in tongues and begins to fake it. A young man is intent on suppressing
his sinful love for his best friend even though he can think of nothing else. A
teenage boy struggles with the temptation of a young girl. A grandmother will
stop at nothing to make her grandson famous. These are some of the good citizens
of Perser, Oklahoma. And in Aaron Gwyn's debut collection, the people of Perser
are unpredictable and unforgettable as they struggle with lapses into sin during
the week a young faith healer comes to town.
In his careful articulation of faith and doubt, sin and self-delusion,
allegiance to the church and self-glorification, Gwyn reveals himself as a
writer of great heart and complexity, creating a world that burns with pain,
love, and an odd kind of devotion.
