Reviews
"PROVINCES OF NIGHTis simply brilliant.  William Gay writes with such astonishing clarity and authenticity that every single word inside this book rings true.  Poetic and visceral, his words excavate a corner of the South with a new standard of excellence and readers and writers everywhere are the better for it.  A must-read for anyone aware of the changing pulse of American literature." -- Melinda Haynes, author ofMother of Pearl "PROVINCES OF NIGHTis an old-fashioned barrel-aged shot of Tennessee storytelling. Gay's tale of ancient wrongs and men with guns is high-proof stuff." -Elwood Reid, author ofWhat Salmon KnowandMidnight Sun "PROVINCES OF NIGHTis one magnificent achievement, a wise, spare, hilarious, bighearted tale delivered in language as lovely as the Tennessee hills at dusk. To the list of premier Southern writers that includes Harry Crews, Barry Hannah, and Lewis Nordan, add the name of William Gay." -Tom Franklin, author ofPoachers "It is time to stop calling William Gay an exciting new voice. InPROVINCES OF NIGHThe proves that he is simply one of our finest voices." --Steve Yarbrough, author ofThe Oxygen Man "A staggering talent. Almost a personal revival of handwork in fiction--superb--must be listened to and felt." -- Barry Hannah, author ofAirshipsandGeronimo Rex

Synopsis
In 1999 William Gay's debut novelThe Long Homesignaled the arrival of a bold new voice in American fiction. In a rave review in theNew York Times Book Review,Tony Earley wrote, "In the high tradition of the Southern novel, Gay is unafraid to tackle the biggest of the big themes, nor does he shy away from the grand gesture that makes those themes manifest," and theDenver Postheralded it as "a novel of great emotional power." WithPROVINCES OF NIGHT,Gay's talent is undeniable. The year is 1952, and E. F. Bloodworth has returned to his home--a forgotten corner of Tennessee--after twenty years of roaming. The wife he walked out on has withered and faded, his three sons are grown and angry. Warren is a womanizing alcoholic, Boyd is driven by jealousy to hunt down his wife's lover, and Brady puts hexes on his enemies from his mamma's porch. Only Fleming, the old man's grandson, treats him with the reverence his age commands, and sees past all the hatred to realize the way it can poison a man's soul. Fleming, a seventeen-year-old dreamer, interprets this seemingly stark world with the uncynical wit and wisdom of the young. When he encounters Raven Lee, a sloe-eyed beauty from a neighboring town, he slowly finds the courage to face this family curse. In a tale redolent with the crumbling loyalties and age-old strife of the South, Gay's characters inhabit a world driven by blood ties that strangle as they bind.
