James Everett Kibler

Opis

A timeless river, flowing and melodic like the histories that run through it.The South has long been home to unique and enduring tales. Too often, these fables are obscured by the regioni1/2s colorful past. It is rare that an author touches on such a tender history and brings forth a collection so rewarding and
poignant. James Everett Kibler has captured the essence of Southern writing in this remarkably touching anthology of fables. "Dave," a haunting but gentle conversation between a man and his wife, reflects on changing times, while "A Perfect Day for Tyger Fish" maintains that some things will always remain the same. In "The Revenge of the Great House," a solace-seeking city slicker journeys to the country and discovers some shadowy secrets. Drawing on the familiarity of family solidarity, place, rootedness, loyalty, and love, Kibler fashions a literary tour de force. These are stories to be read aloud in quiet voices, treasured within gentle hearts, and remembered by generations.
