Fiction
Warren Spooner was born after a prolonged delivery in a
makeshift delivery room in a doctor's office in
Milledgeville, Georgia, on the first Saturday of December,
1956. His father died shortly afterward, long before
Spooner had even a memory of his face, and was replaced
eventually by a once-brilliant young naval officer, Calmer
Ottosson, recently court-martialed out of service. This is
the story of the lifelong tie between the two men, poles
apart, of Spooner's troubled childhood, troubled
adolescence, violent and troubled adulthood and Calmer
Ottosson's inexhaustible patience, undertaking a life-long
struggle to salvage his step-son, a man he will never
understand.
