And Every Word Is True by Gary Mcavoy

And Every Word Is True by Gary Mcavoy

Second-place winner of the 2019 IndieReader Discovery Award for Fiction First published 1919-1923 in the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper, the thirty-nine tales that comprise this volume include short stories, preservationist essays and character sketches of the author's beloved city. Most of the works in this book have been out of print since they were originally published. In this rediscovered collection of Lyle Saxon's early short stories and character sketches, readers will take great pleasure in seeing in print for the first time in nearly a century some of the author's early classics such as The Last Reunion and Who Would Hunt for Spanish Doubloons and Pieces of Eight? Also among the stories in this volume are metaphorical visions of Saxon's childhood, when Saxon was abandoned by his father and raised by his mother and grandparents. He draws other stories from contemporary headlines or images of antebellum gentility. In each, Saxon pays special attention to the odd quirks expressed by that most-honored of New Orleans species, the French Quarter character.

McAvoy, Gary: - Gary McAvoy is a veteran technology executive, entrepreneur, and lifelong writer. For several years he was also a literary media escort in Seattle, during which time he worked with hundreds of authors promoting their books-most notably Dr. Jane Goodall, with whom Gary later collaborated on Harvest for Hope: A Guide to Mindful Eating (Hachette, 2005). Gary is also a professional collector of rare literary manuscripts and historical letters and books, a passion that sparked the intriguing discoveries leading up to his latest book, And Every Word Is True (Literati Editions, March 2019), a revealing look at startling new disclosures about the investigation surrounding the 1959 Clutter family murders, heinous crimes chillingly portrayed in Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. And Every Word Is True pulls back the curtain for a suspenseful encore to Capote's classic tale, adding new perspectives to an iconic American crime.
