Rubiaux Rising

Just read Rubiaux Rising by Steve de Jarnatt. The style of writing is somewhere between prose and I don't know, maybe Southern Gothic? My classmates will probably laugh at that. The subject is fairly grim, but with a happy ending. Well, mostly happy ending. The man still has brain damage and two amputated limbs, but he does not die in a flooded Southern Louisian after Katrina. The story is fairly reiligious and is chocked full of religious references and symbology. Basically, he's freed from sin (detoxed) by a flood (Katrina) builds an Ark (a few sutcases stacked on top of each other and the animals are half drowned rodents and vermin) and then shown the light. That sounded really cut and dried, huh? Really it was a deep story, that, like I said earlier, was written almost in Prose and several passages could probably have been pulled out and turned into poetry.
