Fay

De: Larry Brown

Narrado por: Tom Stechschulte

Larry Brown is hailed as one of today's most talented Southern writers. With the release of each book, including Dirty Work, Father and Son, and Joe, reviewers and fans offer increasingly enthusiastic praise for the astonishing characters he creates.

At 17, Fay Jones leaves her family's squalid home with $3 in her bra and ragged sneakers on her feet. As she heads for Biloxi, people befriend her (a policeman, his wife, a bouncer) but her impact on their lives is seductive and unpredictable. Beautiful and naive, Fay becomes the catalyst in a chain reaction of desire and violence. Her journey provides unflinching snapshots of the South, from beaches to bar rooms. Wherever she lands, though, Fay is fueled by a deep-rooted will to survive. Narrator Tom Stechschulte voices every nuance of this unforgettable young woman's personality and her transient, often brutal, world.

Average story

Fay is an uninspired story of a wayward teen. Yes, you've probably heard similar storys and imagined a few yourself. Quite predictable, trys to be shocking but fails. Good enough to hold your interest through the story but not much better than that.

another Stellar book by Larry Brown!

I really enjoyed this book by author Larry Brown. I look forward two the next!

Well done, but. ,...

White trash will make you grateful for other choices. Cringing moments abound. Well done but depressing.

Slack Jaw Entertainment

Slack jaw entertainment! Larry Brown is a uninhibited writer for this book. I found complete interest the entire book. I can't say that identify with the main character Fay but, her naive ignorance is endearing. I felt like I was listening to good trashy gossip. Ha! This book is not for everyone. Most will enjoy it greatly. Buy this little known story!

Larry Brown masterpiece

This work of literature is a brilliant collage of human emotions. Larry Brown is one of the south's best authors in several generations and this may be his best work. The ebb and flow of energy and lust and needs and desires is so well written that I am stunned.
I could not put this story down.
