This Advance Reading Copy of "Provinces of Night" has been SIGNED by William Gay on the title page!

The year is 1952, and E.F. Bloodworth has returned to his home - a forgotten corner of Tennessee - after twenty years of roaming. In a tale redolent with the crumbling loyalties and age-old strife of the South, Gay's characters inhabit a world driven by blood ties that strangle as they bind. Barry Hannah has called Gay "A staggering talent. Almost a personal revival of handwork in fiction - superb - must be listened to and felt."
