520			_aThe subjects of this beautiful first novel are Momma and Daddy and madness, and they reside - or `endure,` the tone being somewhat Faulkneresque - in town that... T. R. Pearson brings movingly to life... Neely is a speck on the map in North Carolina, and the narrator is Louis Benfield, a youth not as wry as Holden Caulfiend, but certainly as observant, and with a bigger, even sadder, heart... a remarkably funny book... more than an impressive debut; it is an accomplishment. If there is some benign God watching over us, we want Him to look upon us with the wisdom and compassion with which Mr. Pearson views his world.
