Wamba

by Max Crawford

"After years away, Roy Alan Richardson has come to western Texas to grapple with the demons that haunt him. Most of all, he has returned to reckon with mother: Wamba. Through her, he must also face another mother, the farmlands he's called home, for the land is another member of the family for people on the plains, not some lifeless location. So Roy sits raving in a local bar, writing on bar napkins a memoir, a memorial, a suicide note."--BOOK JACKET.
