Publisher's Note
Meet Mississippi teenager Noel Witherspoon: ghost-seeing insomniac, endearing dopehead, wanna-be erotic photographer, and possible Baptist faith healer. Noel, who prefers The Exorcist to Ecclesiastes, must navigate a world of Bible-thumpers, born-again Christians, and a stepfather who bears an uncanny resemblance to Billy Graham. Darkly comic and lyrically moving, Rides of the Midway introduces a formidable new talent in contemporary fiction.

Industry reviews
"With this eruptive debut novel, Lee Durkee, a Mississippian who has tended bar in Vermont for the past 15 years, has just kicked in the door of Southern literature....RIDES OF THE MIDWAY is a manic, sloshed, whiny, fizzy, horny, noisome and wondrous novel."
Salon - Jonathan Miles (02/21/2001)

"A tremendously energetic first novel....Durkee writes with a southern accent that doesn't smother a unique voice, and his roller-coaster ride of a story leaves a reader breathless and waiting for more."
Kirkus Reviews  (12/01/2000)
