Father and Son

De: Larry Brown

Narrado por: Tom Stechschulte

Larry Brown, a remarkable literary voice from the South, is a veteran of the Vietnam War and spent 17 years as a firefighter. Distilling his experiences, he has developed a deep understanding of the darker forces at work in men's souls.

In novels like Joe and On Fire, he has astounded critics and earned critical acclaim from many authors, including John Grisham and Pat Conroy. Father and Son follows a bad seed, Glenn Davis, who is deeply flawed and dangerous. After serving several years in prison, Glenn has returned to his rural Mississippi home, not sure what he wants or needs. Over the course of five days, he forges a path of destruction and violence that finally leads him to Sheriff Bobby Blanchard, who is everything Glenn is not.

Larry Brown wraps the listener up in the searing conflict between these two opposites. But from their inevitable stand-off, he skillfully spins them into unpredictable directions and reactions. The stunning conclusion, swelling with unexpected notes of peace and hope, resonates with Brown's powerful talent.

Great story. Tom Stechshulte shines.

Stechshulte can make even mediocre books worth a listen but he shines in this one. I really enjoyed this book.

Brutal, unrelenting, captivating

Picking up the story of these characters for an eventful snapshot of time was riveting from the first chapter. The voice acting is great, and the novel rarely lulls. I was extremely invested throughout

Really good

Great read. Larry brown is a classic. Great look at Deep South narrator is very good as well.

Dark but deep southern crime story

Characters are well developed and complex. Some foreshadowing, but not enough to give away the plot or ending. I loved the story and the narrator. But it can be depressing.

Great listen!!!

I think this story could have taken place anywhere and a reader could relate to knowing some of these characters. Very well done!!! Did not want it to end

Engaging story line! I was hooked!

The flow of the story kept me captivated. The narrators voice is easy to understand and follow.

What a great writer

This is one of the best books I’ve ever read/ listened to. I will be reading many more books by this author. I almost can’t wait.

App is great!

So far so good. The chapters on the Audible did not match the book, but that was fine because it gave me the option to Clip and write a note where I had stopped. This is my first time with Audible and I’m impressed. Thank you!

Larry Brown masterpiece

This it's the first Larry Brown novel that I have experienced. shame on me for not being introduced to Larry Brown earlier. this book is one of the best I have ever read. The characters are masterfully written and their personalities come alive with this audio version. The writing style is nearly perfect with brilliant descriptions of both people nature and emotions. I could not recommend a book more highly.

Larry Brown is a master

This book is heartbreaking and powerful. You’ll never forget it. I look forward to reading Larry Brown’s other work.
