DON NOBLE: Childhood accident has lifelong consequences in novel

DON NOBLE: Childhood accident has lifelong consequences in novel The Tuscaloosa News © Provided by Tuscaloosa News Don Noble Back in 2003, Tom Franklin opened his wonderful novel “Hell at the Breech” with a scene in which a young man drowns a sack full of kittens in a stream. Friends humorously and not so humorously thought that was not a great way to start a novel. They feared some readers, faint of heart, might stop reading, right there. Maybe some did, but happily, most did not. Susan Zurenda opens her novel “Bells for Eli” with an equally distressing scene. In fictional Green Branch, a small town outside of Columbia, South Carolina, in June of 1953, just a day before his third birthday, young Eli Winfield finds what he believes to be a bottle of Coke on his back porch. He drinks it, with horrible consequences.
