Davis is a great guide through gritty Southern territory.” Dennis McCarthy’s novel\, The Gospel According to Billy the Kid\, moves an American tale of violence and redemption west to New Mexico. Of this debut novel\, fellow Greensboro Bound author Ron Rash says\, “this novel does what all of the best ones do: we enter them\, but they also enter us\, and they stay.” Hosts BRYAN GIEMZA and AMY WELDON talk craft\, violence\, and the art of storytelling with our three authors.
