Description:
<DIV><b>In the sequel to Powell&rsquo;s acclaimed debut, <i>Edisto</i>, Simons Manigault is older&mdash;if not particularly wiser&mdash;and searching for the cure to his restlessness in memory, travel, and forbidden love</b></div><DIV></div><DIV><BR>Fourteen years after we first met Simons Manigault, our protagonist is newly graduated from Clemson University, bored, unfocused, and idling his summer away at his mother&rsquo;s home in Edisto, South Carolina. Not yet ready to fully embrace adulthood, Simons finds himself surrendering to cynicism, as well as to the temptations of his &ldquo;turned-out-well&rdquo; first cousin, Patricia.</div><DIV><BR>To avoid sinking further into his rut, Simons embarks on a road trip through the South. After a disastrous stint as a Corpus Christi fisherman, he exits the Lone Star State, doubling back to the Louisiana bayou to spend some quality time with his former friend and mentor&mdash;and his mother&rsquo;s ex-lover&mdash;Taurus. But as even Taurus&rsquo;s once sought-after wisdom wears thin, Simons begins to suspect that the grass is not greener on the other side&mdash;it may be burnt, brown, and dead wherever he goes.</div><BR>Padgett Powell&rsquo;s literary return to Edisto is as outrageous, witty, and bitingly sharp as its predecessor. Readers who adored their first meeting with Simons Manigault will relish a second helping of his ennui and bad behavior. Newcomers will likewise be heartily glad they made the trip.&#160;
