Aprašymas

Winner of the William Faulkner Literary Competition for Best Novel, 2018.

Professor JB "Stuffy" Hugabee, on sabbatical leave from Charleston, has returned to the small upstate South Carolina town of his birth to conduct research for a book on Mill League baseball. Taking up residence in the dilapidated house where he was born, JB delves into the exploits of his heroes--famous ballplayers like the legendary Hap Rathskeller and Hoyt "Little Train" Hugabee, the father he never knew. The eccentric townsfolk welcome him with open arms. But the discovery of a cryptic note sends JB's investigation in an entirely new direction, and he soon suspects that some of this neighbors may be hiding a terrible truth. What he ultimately discovers will impact all of their lives.

As told by its quirky, reflective narrator, Ebenezerville reveals those noble and tragic qualities of a vanishing South that will forever define its people.
