More About This Book

Overview

Meet the Cole brothers, charismatic country boys with more money than God—half moonshine and half martini. Roland, the younger, is running for governor of Tennessee, while J.T. maneuvers to bring a full-fledged world's fair to the small city of Glennville. To the dismay of the old guard, the fair succeeds, making the Coles among the most important men in the state. All that stands between them and grander ambitions is an investigation into how their bank made all that money so damn fast.

Life in the fast lane has taken its toll on the Coles' families; their wives and mistresses are among the sharpest, sassiest creations of recent fiction. The quiet center of the story is Mike Teague, the Coles' advisor, who knows one of those women too well, and also where all the bodies are buried. Here is a portrait, raucous yet nuanced, of what the South has been, and what it will become.

Editorial Reviews

Roy Hoffman
Majors is a gentle satirist, affectionately deconstructing a wide range of typically Southern scenes, from a debutante gathering where a mother perceives one girl as "a figure of feminine form out of an animator's imagination" to a glimpse of fans on their way to a college football game, when the crowds are "like a constantly moving and shifting organism, a walking lava lamp." The novel's wry, often ironic narrative voice can be both barbed and tender
—The New York Times

From The Critics

In Majors's (Wonderdog) bloated, frenetic third novel, two young East Tennessee brothers born into extreme wealth struggle to keep their secrets under wraps. J.T. Cole, a fast-driving banker, wants to put Glennville, Tenn., on the map by having the city host a world expo, while his younger and more sophisticated banker brother, Roland, has his heart set on running for the coveted governorship. A successful fairground event nets the brothers some serious cash, much to the chagrin of investigators keeping a close eye on the bankers' shady loan practices. For the duration of the novel, both men are consistently unlikable, cheating on their sassy, perceptive, fedup wives and pushing their weight around their respective territories. By the time J.T.'s wife, Corrine, rightfully throws him out, federal agents descend on the thieving bankers, and a plane disaster shakes everyone up, readers will be too exhausted to care. This sprawling effort is a jumble of excessive exposition and sentence fragments that could have been a lively, spirited tale of greed corrupting absolutely. (Jan.)

    An Excellent Novel

    I just finished reading an advanced reading copy of this brilliant
    new novel. It is a captivating mixture of All the King's Men and The Great
    Gatsby with a southern flair. The novel explores man's most
    dangerous enemies--greed and ambition--while offering a look at the
    changing south in all its complexities. The Teague character is
    especially fascinating in how real he is-- not all virtuous, not
    entirely corrupt. This is a must read and will be one of the best
    novels released in 2009.


    I question whether the Publishers Weekly reviewer above even read
    the book. The first sentence of the review refers to the Cole
    brothers as being "born into extreme wealth," when in reality they
    are country boys, born on a farm in the rural south, who eventually build a banking and political empire. Hard to make mistakes like that and remain
    credible. I encourage all to read this revealing tale.

    Annoying

    This book was highly annoying. The writer's style made the story (hackneyed) difficult to follow. It was written in a manner that suggests the author already had the screen play in mind when he wrote the novel. As a book lover and JMU graduate, I was disappointed.
