Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Fiction. Joe Meno's acclaimed first novel, TENDER AS HELLFIRE, written when he was twenty-two, limns a near-fantastical world of trailer park floozies, broken-down '76 Impalas, lost glass eyes, and the daily experiences of two boys trying to make sense of their random, sharp lives. Now in a reedited paperback edition, TENDER AS HELLFIRE tells the story of Dough and Pill, brothers bound by more than blood. The anguish of their past, the terror of their present, and the uncertainty of their future all underscore the only truth that is within their grasp: each other.
