First published: 2000
Description: Jimmy Vann was twice reported dead in World War II, and only after reading his own glowing obituary did he find his true calling: selling life insurance. Jimmy's son, Nolan, falls short of his father's expectations. With no war of his own to reckon with, Nolan lives a life without gravity in the small southern town in which he grew up.
