Description: Larry Brown, A Miracle of Catfish. Algonquin Books, 2007. Hardcover first edition book in dust jacket. 978-1-56512-536-0. Book is in good to very good condition. Appears unread. Would grade much higher except for a few stray marks of pencil writing as indicated by pictures. Faint bump to front top corner, back has small smudge on top left edge. Deckle edges very good. Pictures are of the actual book being offered for sale. In November 2004, Brown sent the nearly completed manuscript of this book, his sixth novel, to his publishers. A week later, he died of a massive heart attack. He was 53 years old. A Miracle of Catfish is that novel. Brown’s trademarks, his raw detail, pared down prose, and characters under siege, are all here. The book concerns the lives of five characters: an old farmer with a new pond that he wants stocked with baby catfish; a bankrupt fish-pond stocker who secretly releases his 40-pound brood catfish into the farmer’s pond; a little boy from the trailer home across the road who inadvertently hooks the behemoth catfish; the boy’s inept father; and a former convict down the road who kills a second time to save his daughter.
