This debut novel from short story author Steve Cushman begins when Jimmy Wills, a 34-year-old house painter living in the mountains of North Carolina, gets a telephone call from his dying father Truman in rural north Florida, who demands that Jimmy come home to kill him. Never planning to do the deed, Jimmy nonetheless returns to the place of his birth. He finds much of it unchanged, but during his three-day stay he begins to uncover dark and disturbing secrets from the past, including the truth about the murder of his mother. "Taut, raw, and gritty, this tale of mysteries old and new in backwoods Florida rings with authenticity. With Portisville, Steve Cushman carves out a spot for himself alongside such Rough South writers as Larry Brown, Tim McLaurin, and Dorothy Allison."—Jerry Bledsoe
