Resumen del Editor

In this masterful debut, Martin Clark proves to be the heir apparent of great Southern raconteurs and the envy of more seasoned novelists as he takes us on a frantic tour of the modern South. Hung over, beaten by the unforgiving sun, bitter at his estranged wife, and dreading the day's docket of petty criminal cases, Judge Evers Wheeling is in need of something on the morning he's accosted by Ruth Esther English.

Ruth Esther's strange story certainly is something, and Judge Wheeling finds himself in uncharted territory. Reluctantly agreeing to help Ruth Esther retrieve some stolen money, he recruits his pot-addled brother and a band of merry hangers-on for the big adventure.

Raucous road trips, infidelity, suspected killers, winning Lotto tickets, drunken philosophical rants, and at least one naked woman tied to a road sign ensue in The Many Aspects of Mobile Home Living, one part legal thriller, one part murder mystery, and all parts wild.

Engaging & Witty

Love this author and narrator! Great characters and lots of twists, a totally unique adventure.

love them all.

Mr Clark is great. His descriptions are so incredible , he has a mastery of the mundane that is sheer poetry. I have been listening to all his books but can't wait to get hands on the written words so I can truly savor all the richness again !!

Interesting and enjoyable!

fun book to read. it kept me wondering what was going to happen next. the dialogue between characters was funny and interesting.

Where's the Payoff?

It is so far fetched that you can't help but listen until the end..but not nearly enough closure to explain all the weirdness. Narrator very good!

Strangest meandering story I have ever listened to

It was like I was trying to understand what the plot was through the entire book. That does not mean I did not enjoy the characters, I did. The performer did a good job, you always knew which character was speaking. I have been to the restaurant in Charleston, and it is exactly as described. Just a strange book.

Loved this romp through a troubled life!

So identifiable and entertaining! Unapologetic and real; I really enjoyed this book and will definitely read more from this author.

Spellbinding

The characters are rich and diverse. The conversation is ridiculous yet engaging. Lots of booze and Gravley throats. I get the sense that they were all much older because of the narrators voice. It was mesmerizing highly recommend.

entertaining journey

The story was the best part of the book. I enjoyed the journey immensely and laughed out loud at some of the commentary. I also liked the authenticity of the characters even though many of their antics seem over the top. The ending was a bit lack luster, but the book as a whole was what I really appreciated. I looked forward to listening each time I had a chance, which is very telling for me in my enjoyment experience.

fun, rambling novel

This is the second Martin Clark novel that I have read and I have enjoyed them both a great deal. (The other was the Substitution Order). They are kind of odd and rambling with likable characters. I plan to listen to all the rest of his work and recommend this one.

Great read

Winding, twisting, surprisingly fresh southern story. Humor and drama, family ties...
A fun refreshing read
