Home Again - Softcover
Pinpin, a retired novelist, wants nothing more than to be left alone. His wife dead, his books out of print, his sons lost to the seductive wiles of word processors and movie development deals, until finally, at the end of his lether, Pinpin goes back to Tampa. As soon as Pinpin sets foot back in his parents' house, he finds himself snared in the mire of family politics, with one cousin telling him not to trust another.
