Riverbig — Aris Janigian

This broad-shouldered work of fiction the follow-up to Bloodvine, Aris Janigian s acclaimed first novel continues the tale of Andy Demerjian, the college-educated farmer. Set in California s Central Valley, and ranging in time from World War II to the drug wars of the 1960s, Riverbig is a poignant portrayal of life in rustic mid-century America. A beautiful evocation of the richness of human experience, this novel explores both emotional terrain and physical topography as it transports the reader through the valley and into the rhythms of rural life.
