From Scenes Like These

His batting average is shocking, his marriage somehow worse, and he secretly fears hes inherited his mothers insanity. Ordered to take a midseason rest, Suder instead takes his LP of Charlie Parkers Ornithology and flees. A dazzling tale of madness, confinement and the need for escape, Suder introduced Percival Everett to the world as a writer already fully capable of conjuring whole lives and worlds on the page.
