The Marrowbone Marble Company by Glenn Taylor

The Marrowbone Marble Company by Glenn Taylor

"M. Glenn Taylor's plain spoken eloquence on labor, race, and war recalls the voices in Studs Terkel's inspired Working. The Marrowbone Marble Company is a novel of stirring clarity and power."

--Jayne Anne Phillips, author of Lark and Termite

Author M. Glenn Taylor was nominated for the National Book Critic's Circle Award for his novel The Ballad of Trenchmouth Taggart. Taylor returns spectacularly with The Marrowbone Marble Company, a sweeping story set against the changing landscape of post-World War II America that recalls The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and the early lyrical work of Cormac McCarthy. A masterwork of Southern fiction that the National Book Award-winning author of Spartina, John Casey, calls, "a terrific rough-and-tumble novel," The Marrowbone Marble Company is a gift from a truly exhilarating American voice.

Glenn Taylor is the author of the National Book Critics Circle Award-nominated novels The Marrowbone Marble Company and The Ballad of Trenchmouth Taggart. He grew up in Huntington, West Virginia, and currently resides in Morgantown with his wife and three sons, where he teaches at West Virginia University.
