Devil All the Time

Author: Donald Ray Pollock

Donald Ray Pollock's novel "Devil All the Time" revolves around a war veteran haunted by the specter of the war he fought, a couple who chose life on the open road, a Christian clergyman convinced of his ability to resurrect the dead, and a crippled musician who accompanies him on his tours. Pollock uses these characters to expose the dark corners of the human soul and its share of pure evil, an evil that will control their destiny until the very end. In this game of destinies, the author takes the reader into a dark, even brutal, narrative labyrinth, with captivating language that refuses to compromise, as he dissects a sick American society with its slogans and delusions.
