This book begins with an “Alert” for readers who may expect to read about a lawyer named Joe Dillard. Obviously, this is a reference to a character known to followers of Pratt’s work. It is close to being an apology for being what it is, “a work of literary/historical fiction.” No apology is needed. The story stands alone as a brilliant narrative of a young boy/man growing up in the 1960s. The boyhood recollections ring true to the way we all thought and spoke as we grew up. Thoroughly enjoyable.
