The Lost Country centers on Edgewater, who's recently been discharged from the navy, and a one-armed con man named Roosterfish who takes him under his wing as they both search desperately for a forgotten past and a future that may never come. The Lost Country cements Gay as one of the strongest voices in Southern literature, alongside Cormac McCarthy, Flannery O'Connor, and William Faulkner.

-T. Ryder Smith did a phenomenal job performing this book, and he took great care in breathing personalities and idiosyncrasies into every (forlorn) character.
If you like poetic and gritty Southern Gothic-

Gay is brilliant.

It brought a grit and roughness to its characters that was palpable. Even the women were an unpolished version of their potential. There's not really anyone that is completely likable but most have qualities of decency. They just live in a place in a time that needs not for to be polished, or refined. But don't mistake me, they are not stupid. In far too many books the stereotype of a Southerner is dumb and racist. Gay doesn't hide the racism that was evident in that time, but not for one second does he treat his characters as ignorant.
He treats his characters with respect, even when they are undeserving. That's what makes this book so great.
Southern Gothic doesn't get much better
