Monday’s Meal by Leslie H. Edgerton

---

About The Death of Tarpons: "Edgerton’s first novel shines with wisdom."—Publishers Weekly

"[E]xceptional first novel. . . . Highly recommended for public libraries supporting writing programs."—starred review in Library Journal

In these stories, Les Edgerton has carved out a literary turf, in the bars of New Orleans or the small towns of Texas, in the gullibility of tourists carrying their go-cups on the streets of the Big Easy, in the gaping seams between bars in the Pendleton Reformatory of Indiana, in the poverty of the hill people in the South, in the difficulties of love and sex and what keeps pulling man and woman in each other’s direction. The author has a wonderfully poignant way of dealing with people often called losers, and his affection for his characters is what gives his writing a luminosity that is ultimately the strength of this collection.
