Male meltdown, carrying with it the possibility of being saved by Dolly Parton or some other woman or maybe by animal friends, is a theme, as is young love and its disillusionment, as are strange neighbors who cannot be understood.

Watsons charactersoften boys and brothers, fathers and sonsare shaped by oddities of nature, while nature itself communicates loudly. In these pages, dogs most certainly have their day, a one-eyed woman swims the breaststroke, and Dolly Parton holds the key to a convicts salvation. Spouses grow apart while bitter landlords bang on the ceiling to quiet the creaking bedframe upstairs. Grotesque twins exercise in tandem, and two men drink to forget their dead wives (though dead is a relative term). Roller-coastering from the mournful to the hilarious (sometimes in the same paragraph) and steeped in both the Southern gothic tradition and a universal literature of the tragic, the beautiful, and the absurd, Watsons stories waltz masterfully with surprising, lovely, and strange melancholy, infused with wit and bound by authenticity.</p>...(*_*)9781324076438_<p><strong>A posthumous collection of beloved and never-before-read stories from a titan of contemporary Southern fiction.</strong></p><p>Here is a generous portion of the work of a swiftly passing lifetime.
