Rides of the Midway

by Lee Durkee

Rides of the Midway Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Meet Mississippi teenager Noel Weatherspoon: ghost-seeing insomniac, endearing dopehead, wanna-be erotic photographer, and possible Baptist faith healer. Noel, who prefers The Exorcist to Ecclesiastes, must navigate a world of Bible-thumpers, born-again Christians, and a stepfather who bears an uncanny resemblance to Billy Graham. Darkly comic and lyrically moving, Rides of the Midway introduces a formidable new talent in contemporary fiction.

Synopsis:

"With this eruptive debut novel, Durkee...has just kicked in the door of Southern literature."--Salon.com
