By Charles Frazier
Published in 1997
“At the first gesture of morning, flies began stirring. Inman’s eyes and the long wound at his neck drew them, and the sound of their wings and the touch of their feet were soon more potent than a yardful of roosters in rousing a man to wake.”
Suggested by Nancy A. Abel, Hickory Hills
