The Moon in Deep Winter

Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

Ed, when we're all done this, can we put together a family tree?  I'm starting to get confused as to who is related to who!  I don't think my brain can retain this much information (although I have lyrics and band memorized for just about every 80's song out there and I don't know why).

Who was Xiao Ao-lin's great love?  Have we already heard this and I've forgotten?  Probably.

That is what I thought, but then I got myself all confused.  John sure had some mojo.

Does John Battle's fairy tale book = the myth of Adam and Eve?

Nope. It is actually an old Chinese fairy tale, but with a new interpretation, as you shall see.
