Description:The stories of Louse Point explore the East End's unique tapestry of communities and the hamlets they occupy, from the African-Americans of Freetown to the fishermen of Lazy Point. The stories, each one named for a location on the East End, explore the vicissitudes of family and the deep divisions between local communities. Some characters are held back by circumstance and others by their own self-doubt, but all keep pushing tirelessly forward. In "Two Mile Hollow," two brothers, members of the East End’s last remaining crew of haul-seiners, drive to their town's gay beach in search of a culprit, as they feel their livelihood and their town slipping away. "Lazy Point" features a twenty-something sister who prevails upon her twin brother to come back to Lazy Point, the last remaining hamlet for locals, to help save their parents' tumultuous marriage. In "Walking Dunes," a marine-like mother enlists her two teenage children to drive from Arizona to Montauk Point in pursuit of their AWOL father, who has returned to his hometown to work as a fisherman. In "Trapped," the friendship of two high school basketball players is torpedoed by a racial divide that they never knew was there. The world of Louse Point is harsh, unforgiving, forcing its characters to jettison their illusions, to move unprotected into an uncertain future.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
