"The setting is Lousiville, Kentucky in the 1970s. The Telfairs are four generations of an African American family of stonemasons. Ben Telfair has given up his education to apprentice himself to his grandfather, Papaw, a man who knows that 'true masonry is not held together by cement but ... by the warp of the world.' Out of the love that binds these two men and the gulf that separates them from the Telfairs who have forsaken--or dishonored--the family trade, Cormac McCarthy has crafted a drama that bears all the hallmarks of his great fiction"--Page 4 of cover.
