October 20, 2014 • 4.5 x 7.5 • 150 Pages • 978-1-56689-372-5
A meditation on memory and futility among the ruins of artistic ambition, family myth, and the fall of the South.
Savage’s latest novel dismantles the mythic greats of the past—an American South that never was, and a mother’s artistic pretensions that never should have been. In the story of Eve, Savage finds a voice that captures both the frustrations of our degraded world and the tender sympathy it evokes for all our sad efforts to leave something beautiful behind.
