Flatwater Blues Comes to Cordelia

By Leopold J Kovar

Cordelia is a rustic town like many others - sleepy on the surface but roiling underneath. The shooting of President Kennedy prompts a dysfunctional family reunion that drastically changes the life of one young man. Years later, the shooting of a big time Hollywood movie in their little slice of nowhere upends the residents of Cordelia and opens wounds both old and new. These twenty-three interconnected stories form a novelesque narrative that explores the way lives are entwined in a small town and how quickly things can unravel when something pulls at the threads. Yet out of traumas of loss and self-reflection come moments of hope, acceptance, and transcendence. With sharp insight and deft characterization, Leopold J. Kovar presents a glimpse of rural America that is captivating, uncomfortable, and relentlessly human.
