Southern Summer Reads

The Weight of This World, by David Joy

“Someone once told me that good Southern noir should read like a pull from a bottle of Appalachian moonshine: smooth and elegant with a punch in the gut that lingers a while after you’re done. Joy did that with his first novel, Where All Light Tends To Go, and he’s done it again with The Weight of This World. Deeply flawed characters embroiled in a fast-paced, drug-fueled snafu with brutal and potentially catastrophic consequences, all told in Joy’s tight and skillful prose.”

—Lane Jacobson, Buyer, Flyleaf Books, Chapel Hill, NC
