Station of the Birds - Paperback

by Betsy Sussler (Author)

Disinherited while attending college in New Orleans, Daryl Munroe returns to his hometown in Louisiana's Atchafalaya Swamp, planning to intimidate his father by setting up an illegal smuggling business. He joins forces with his childhood friend, Michael Duvet, the son of a local jazz musician. His attempt at vengeance becomes a mysterious quest in an area steeped in myth and generational lore and riven by entrenched barriers of class and race. Part fever dream, part cautionary tale, Station of the Birds spins a narrative about fathers and sons, addiction's hollow banging at the gate, and the ritual sacrifices rooted in agrarian cultures.
