The story of two brothers one of whom was part of a robbery that killed a man and is serving a life sentence. The good brother is a professor and loves taking purple flights of over intellectualizing everything. The first part of the novel crawls along as the good brother (the author) sets how anguished and conflicted and blah blah blah he is. The middle moves along because the bad brother tells the story who thankfully uses a lot less adjectives and a lot more verbs. This part of the story cooks along but then gets bogged down again when the story comes to the present. Getting to the present the good brother takes back over and has nothing to contribute to the story but more pointless verbiage. The bad brothers story is interesting as is the way he tells it, but the good brother does his best to bury it without contributing much of interest himself.

This book came highly recommended to me by an English major. It's good...not something I would normally pick up. Interesting to see the perpective of prison life and racial hardships from a different angle.
