"The Night Inspector" by Frederick Busch - a powerful, creative vision of the Civil War and the brutal damage it did to one man, and by extension to America. Having been seared by his experiences, he turns to money-making in his attempt to win meaning for his existence. Sound familiar?
Will also be fascinating to fans of Herman Melville - 'nuff said!
Strongly recommended!
