Synopsis
Suppose the ancient world of meddling gods who interfere in human affairs is reset in northern Mississippi, circa 1926. It is still a world of classic good-ol'-boys, of Southern belles, of children of ex-slaves picking cotton and "bowin' and scrapin'," and of chain gangs and rumrunners. Rump parties rule the populace and the KKK flourishes. Now add into that mix the Graeco-Roman legend of The Twelve Labors of Hercules. Waldrop takes aim at the corruption and arbitrary injustice of that place and time. It is a marvelous story told with much humour and sadness, much joy and despair.
