Absurd humor questions the meaning of truth Deep in Southern Illinois called Little Egypt the county sheriff and his young deputy scientifically bumble their way through the Invasion of the Feral Swine A prosecutor fresh out of law school brings the whole shebang into a court of law for the Trial of the Man with No Name Instead of science and law the everyday people of Greens Point live on the minutia of life their conversations dotted with nothings Throughout these absurd events Sunday evening chats between a reverend and his visitor link essential topics speared by death yet caught by hope and told with a dash of humor In bits from their talks the reverend learns about his guest s past and the makeup of the man including how he came up with the name Atticus The story closes with their final Sunday evening from the mouth of an ex con truth is told to a dying reverend Atticus from Shawneetown is the sequel to Tombs of Little Egypt 2022 Atticus from Shawneetown A NovelAn odd story about a stranger in a small southern Illinois town who is put on trial for an even stranger crime The book is heavy with forcing the local color of the Little Egypt area of Illinois but also comes across as really making fun of the people there Other attorneys in the trial don t seem to know what they are doing the judge makes random rulings and is constantly said to be hiding a laugh Each witness is demeaned in turn I m not sure why Jesse is our narrator as he is absent from the final pages and his own rivalry with sister Jessie is left unexplained undeveloped The verdict is predictable but not the real point of the story anyway so that doesn t matter much 9798385208807
