Description
Labor Days, Labor Nights is a big-hearted carnival jammed with all the belly laughs and heart-twisting poignancy we've come to expect from Larry Thacker. It's all here, folks: roller-derby angels, pygmy goats, shrunken heads, lightning-rod preachers, catfish wranglers, grieving altar-builders. Studded with unforgettable characters, Labor County is as fully realized a place as Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha. Grab your ticket and go! --Marie Manilla, author of The Patron Saint of Ugly
