HOUGHTON MIFFLIN Work Shirts for Madmen 2007 Edition by George Singleton
Renegade artist Harp Spillman is lower than a bowlegged fire ant. Because of an unhealthy relationship with the bottle, he's ruined his reputation as one of the South's pre-eminent commissioned metal sculptors. And his desperate turn to ice sculpting might've led to a posse of angry politicians on his trail. With the help of his sane and practical jug-making wife, Raylou, Harp understands that it's time to return to the mig welder. Yes, it's time to prove that he can complete a series of twelve-foot-high metal angels - welded completely out of hex nuts - for the city of Birmingham.Is it pure chance that the Elbow Boys, their arms voluntarily fused so they can't drink, show up in order to help Harp out in a variety of ways? And why did his neighbor smuggle anteaters into desolate Ember Glow? Is it true that there's no free will?
