Take a darkly hilarious trip through a South Carolina town with the âunchallenged king of the comic Southern short storyâ (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution).  âUsually stories about small, quirky, southern towns are full of adorable, quirky characters that share their unusual philosophies with us and teach us how to enjoy life (think Forrest Gump or even Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil). Gruel may be small, southern, and quirky, but it is also as miserable as its name sounds. The inhabitants are miserable. Even people from as far away as New York who happen to stop by Gruel are miserable . . . Fortunately, the writing is good enough that the misery becomes somehow enjoyable.â âBooklist  âGeorge Singleton is a madman. Heâs also one of the most talented American writers the South has turned out in decades.â âThe Post and Courier   |
