| "Not a Bad Man is a novel that will keepyou up nights, a novel by a young writer whocares about language. It will make your headand heart sing. Long after you read the lastpage, the whole bitter, beautiful, sweet, uglystory of death and the absence of love willlive in your memory." So writes Harry Crews about John Miglis stunning, brilliant story of four North Floridamen in search of the mystery and beauty ofthe great bald eagle and the tragedy thatbefalls them and the unforgettable exoticdancer three of them love. At first the men, who call themselves theGroup, have little in common except theirfascination with the eagle s majesty. One ofthem is an English professor, another a trou-bled young drifter, the third an old Florida woodsman, and the last an ambitious, drivenlawyer running for the state legislature. Apyramiding burden of sudden death, betrayaland terror inextricably binds these men andthe dancer in a web of retribution and forceseach of them to relive his past in the after-math of a bizarre and tragic accident. As compelling as Deliverance by JamesDickey, Not a Bad Man is. in the words ofMalcolm Braly, "a novel of unusual power." |
