Description Concering Books Fay

She's had no education, and you can't call what her father's been trying to give her "love." So at seventeen, Fay Jones leaves home, carrying a purse with half a pack of cigarettes and two dollar bills. She's headed for the bright lights and big times of Biloxi, and even she knows she needs help getting there. But help's not hard to come by when you look like Fay.

There's a highway patrolman who gives her a lift, with a detour to his own place. There are truck drivers who pick her up, no questions asked. There's a crop duster with money for a night or two on the town. There's a strip-joint bouncer who deals on the side. And in the end, there are five dead bodies stacked in Fay's wake.

Fay is a novel that could only have been written by Larry Brown, whom the Boston Globe called "one of our finest writers -- honest, courageous, unflinching."

a few cans of really cold beer too much but a very compelling read

Fay:Larry Brown's Look at Love in All the Wrong PlacesFay was chosen by members of On the Southern Literary Trail as a group read for November, 2014. Larry Brown, July 9, 1951 November 24, 2004, Oxford, Mississippi Fay, First Ed., Algonquin Books, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 2000 I have one of those first editions of Fay. But it's not signed. I kept meaning to get over to Oxford, Mississippi, to meet Larry Brown. Actually, I had several first editions by the time Fay came out. I figured I

A friend of mine, knowing that I was a Larry Brown fan, gave me an autographed copy of Fay when it was first published. The first time I read it, I couldn't put it down until I finished it two and half days later. This was the South I had grown up in, and maybe didn't want to talk about, but knew wasn't very far away, and closer than I was willing to admit. Fay's journey through the trailers and strip bars and the various characters she interacts with makes this book eerily real. Brown's

It's a shame Brown died, because I felt this to be his best book, and one that screamed for a sequel. Given that Fay itself was a sequel of sorts, I think this was a very real possibility. Fay Jones comes from about as far down the social ladder as you can get (I hate the term "white trash," so I'll just leave it at that), so when her "family" falls apart, she departs on her own, in a way that definitely reminds you of Lena Grove from Light in August. But Fay's a different kind of gal, and her

Lot's of reviews going around comparing Larry Brown with William Faulkner. If you've never read any of William Faulkner's books then know that Larry Brown's writing is just like Faulkner's. If you have read some of Faulkner's books then let me just go ahead and say I lied in my first comment... but there are similarities in these two fellows.Both gentlemen were born in the same area of Mississippi, both died in Mississippi. Faulkner 1897 to 1962. Brown 1951 to 2004.Neither of these men obtained

She kept walking. Same old shit.Fay walked a lot. She walked in search of food and shelter. She walked away from the police. She ran from individuals who tried to harm her. She walked away from her family and her vile father. She walked and hitched rides from one end of Mississippi to the other. Thats a lot of walking.This book is a sequel to Joe. Although Fay can be read as a standalone it is best to read Joe first to understand what made Fay to run off in the first place. The exploits of her

WOWMaybe I'll review it later but if you're not inclined to look for a novel by the too soon gone Larry Brown there's nothing I can say about his writing that would change your mind.Stunning.I'd like to add:This is a Grit-Noir novel and a crime-suspense thriller but what makes it memorable is character development.Each of the characters has his/her own, distinctive "voice".The plot twists, the entanglements, the unexpected acts of violence that occur - all majestically rendered by a master
