Summary: SHINE HAWK:Southern Gothic about love&memory
Comment: What are we but the sum of our memories? In SHINE HAWK, Charlie Smith updates Faulkner's AS I LAY DYING and puts me in mind of Vonnegut's Billy Pilgrim (who was also unstuck in time). His viewpoint character, Billy, returns home to help a couple of old friends because Frank's little brother Jake has died alone in a trailer (alcoholism), but Billy's still in love with Frank's wife Hazel (and, truth told, with Frank). But the novel's not told strictly chronologically, though the floating in time is easy to understand. The language is gorgeous, with stupendous imagery. The story is about love--eternal love, brotherly love--and faithfulness. However, if you are going to be offended by graphic sex (threesome, peeping. . . ), you'll have to decide for yourself whether you'll want to read SHINE HAWK.
