'Long Home' beautiful, exciting but derivative

Kathryn Justice

"The Long Home," the debut novel by William Gay, does, indeed, bring to mind the great Southern novelists, as the dust jacket boasts. And the worst thing that I can honestly say about Gay's first work is that it, at times, brings to mind said Southern writers a bit too vividly.

Gypsy's House of Pain: Not for the faint of heart

Kathryn Justice

Never mind the flashing lights on top of the building. Never mind that it stays open until 11 p.m. Never mind its name. The new tattoo parlor in town, Gypsy's House of Pain, is not a place for drunken weekend escapades. No, sir.
