A wonderful debut novel; crisply and intelligently written and buzzing with vibrant characters and a fantastically twisted plot. Evers Wheeling is a superior court judge in small town North Carolina. He's young, bright, and going nowhere. He has trouble pinning down his hung-over, hazy life. Things aren't great with his wife. One morning he is approached by the ethereally beautiful Ruth Esther, who, with one simple request, sends Evers on a byzantine, cross-country journey. Aided and abetted by his dopehead brother and equally wasted cronies, Evers embarks with Ruth Esther on a hunt for a mysterious treasure stashed away by her deceased father. Precious jewels are involved at the beginning, but the big prize is even more valuable. Evers' adventure spirits him further and further away from his earlier existence, into a fierce estrangement from his wife, into the arms of a militant black attorney and into having to deal with his brother's trial for murder. THE MANY ASPECTS OF MOBILE HOME LIVING is a remarkable creation, combining Southern gothic, black comedy, courtroom drama and explorations of faith and redemption in a first novel that will be long remembered for its astounding writing and brilliant, unexpected conclusion. 'In spare yet delightfully idiosyncratic prose, [Clark] captures a drowsy world of beaten dreamers, rendering their pathos and hilarity with the self-assuredness of a seasoned novelist' NEW YORK TIMES 'Made me laugh so hard I fell off the sofa' NEWSWEEK
