| Summary: | Set amidst North Baton Rouge's inferno of industries and refineries, smack in the middle of low-rent crime and violence, The jumper is a fast-paced and gritty tale about characters who'd intimidate the thugs of a 1930s hard-boiled novel. Parrish's visceral yet lyrical prose, his structuring of fictional time and his clear moral vision transform these tough-guy elements into an experience somehow luminescent, emotionally disturbing and completely uplifting. |
