In pinelight : a novel
(Book)

As the elderly hero of Thomas Rayfiel?s daring new novel, In Pinelight, sits in a retirement home responding to the questions of an unseen interrogator, the fragments he supplies form the portrait of a man?s life in upstate New York. Losses, loves, destructive family relationships, sexual entanglements, and moments of mystical awareness filter through the seeming minutiae of small-town gossip to confront the reader with their cumulative power.
