Fourth of July Creek by Smith Henderson

* 1 star

I didn't finish this bleak and, to me, pointless book. I am wildly out of step with the majority of readers on this one but I plodded through this until something new and shiny arrived on my TBR pile.  I think I was nearly 2/3 the way through this and it just wasn't catching fire for me.  I was somewhat interested in the individual vignettes along the way but ultimately I was not really seeing the point of the anecdotes and where the book was really going. Just pretty bleak and filled with unpleasant people and events.  Not sure I need that....
