Sailing to Alluvium — John Pritchard

Now, in the third installment, Junior Ray and Voyd become "diktectives" in order to solve a not-so-mysterious murder mystery.

John Pritchard's work fits well between the singing prose of James Agee and the rustic lampoon and high humor of Erskine Caldwell. The reader is treated to a unique brand of dark funniness that closes the divide between burlesque and metaphysics, fuses the profane with the sublime, and explains the Deep South as no other writer has done before.
