John Girlie, a disillusioned all-American football player, returns to the haven of his hometown--Old Field, Louisiana--but receives no consolation from his wayward family and friends
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
In a mournful first novel, the unfortunately named John Girlie is a former college football star who gives up a promising professional career to hang around his small Louisiana hometown and keep his mother company. PW found the author has a penchant for melodramatic gestures, but concluded, "there's no denying that Bradley is a writer of power and promise."
