Turn Down Man — Ron McLarty

Andy works for one of the last of the big time Hollywood Moguls and his world is turned upside down when his brother, Jackie, who disappeared while working in Africa suddenly turns up on his doorstep. Jackie had been held prisoner in a small drought ridden village and returns to the USA having gone through a mysterious spiritual transformation that confounds his brother and captivates everyone he meets. Jackie and Andy's journey is a wild ride that in a single moment can be both mordantly funny and deeply touching. This razor-sharp satire is filled with the kind of characters and imagination that are the hallmarks of Ron McLarty's writing.
