The Orchard Is Full of Sound one author's connection with Breece D'J Pancake: a memoir Sheldon Lee Compton $13.99 ISBN: 9798439128341 ORDER HERE!!! In this superb memoir Sheldon Lee Compton reflects on his own life, his struggles with poverty and divorce and violence and addiction and fatherhood and an early heart attack and trying to make it as a writer in rural Kentucky, all the while trying to trace the life and tragic ending of one of his literary heroes, Breece D'J Pancake. The book is part overcoming, part acceptance, part reflection on Appalachia and its stereotypes, part study in suicide among the creative. Compton seeks closure on Pancake's suicide when he travels to Pancake's last home, to the orchard where Pancake did the deed, and in doing so finds new perspective on the tragic events of his own life. |
Check out this quick interview with Sheldon Lee Compton from Grateful Studios about The Orchard Is Full of Sound.
