Follow Me Down
Details: Unabridged

Category: Fiction, Contemporary
Keywords: passion, murder, Mississippi, Follow, Down
Author: Shelby Foote
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Length: 8 hours and 50 min.

Description
A stark tale of a crime of passion, Follow Me Down tells the story of Luther Eustis, a respectably religious Mississippi farmer, who runs off to a deserted island with a young girl and brutally kills her after a three-week idyll. Why? And what was there about Eustis that attracted the young girl in the first place? The explanation of Eustis' motives is tangled and far from obvious, and each narrator perceives and reveals only parts and facets of the truth. Bit by bit, the story emerges, with stunning dramatic impact. First published in 1950, Follow Me Down continues to enjoy critical acclaim and wide readership.

Tournament
Details: Unabridged
ISBN: 0786195908
Category: Fiction, Historical
Keywords: Jordan County, Mississippi, South, Tournament
Author: Shelby Foote
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Length: 9 hours and 12 min.

Description
Tournament is the successful first novel by Shelby Foote, a major Southern writer whose masterpiece, The Civil War: A Narrative, has become the modern standard against which all other works of historical narrative must be weighed. In Tournament, many of the remarkable characters from Jordon County, Foote's fictional Mississippi Delta country, come upon the literary scene for the first time. Louis Rubin, in his introductory essay on Tournament, finds major Proustian resonances and predicts lines along which Foote's future novels will develop. Highly praised both here and abroad, Foote's novels have been on the best seller lists in France and Italy. Whether writing historical narrative or novels, he clearly belongs to the first rank of American writers of our era.
