It Will End with Us - Paperback

by Sam Savage (Author)

A meditation on memory and futility among the ruins of artistic ambition, family myth, and the fall of the South.

Savage's latest novel dismantles the mythic greats of the past--an American South that never was, and a mother's artistic pretensions that never should have been. In the story of Eve, Savage finds a voice that captures both the frustrations of our degraded world and the tender sympathy it evokes for all our sad efforts to leave something beautiful behind.
