Through his own recollections and his fiction-sometimes impossible to separate-he attempts to make sense of a senseless act and, in the process, to examine his youth, his connection to his best friend, Gene, and the enigma of Marie, a beautiful girl whose heart once belonged to both of them and whose spell still lingers through the decades.Spare, haunting, lyrical, Sundown, Yellow Moon is a piercing study of love and betrayal, grief and desire, youth and remembrance. Larry Watson not only brings to life a distinct period in history but, most affectingly, reveals the interplay of memory, secrets, and the passage of time.Praise for Sundown, Yellow Moon:Watson succeeds impressively, especially in deepening our understanding of first love.-Alan Cheuse, Chicago TribuneA marvelous evocation of a time and place and of high school existence when it was considerably less ferocious than it is today . . . [Sundown, Yellow Moon] twitches aside the curtain to reveal the menace and mendacity lurking behind placid and mundane lives.-Minneapolis Star Tribune[An] oddly heartbreaking story: allowed to run amok, the past becomes a monster capable of devouring the present.-BooklistLarry Watson takes the less-traveled roads, through landscapes and heartscapes vaguely familiar, intensely poetic and always jangling. . . . He has established himself as one of the leading poetic realists, painting his stories across the canvas of interiors: small-town America and the human heart.-San Jose Mercury News, on Orchard\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51819411177760,"sku":"NEW0375758534","price":23.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61mPNZeFIfL.jpg?v=1781131918","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/sundown-yellow-moon-a-novel-0375758534","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
