Sinopsis

The rain-sodden, southern world of David Wesley WilliamsâÇÖáEverybody Knowsáoverflows with satiric fun as it churns up a rich detritus of Biblical allusions, political backstory, musical opinions, literary puns, and local anecdotes. The story, set a decade hence, introduces a raft of characters, too, including musicians, an escaped felon, a tyrannical governor atop his stateâÇÖs old electric chair, various and likable sidekicks and mistresses, and even a writer, the ironic double of the workâÇÖs author, whose enthusiasm for his subject matter spills over into strongly opinionated footnotes. And thatâÇÖs all before the pirates arrive. Original, energetic, and obsessive,áEverybody Knowsárecalls the worlds of Faulkner, Welty, Flannery OâÇÖConnor, Kurt Vonnegut, and John Kennedy Toole in its broad wit and sorrowful joy.áá
