5d Noon Wine by Katherine Anne Porter

A happy case of serendipity led me to this brilliant short novel about a murder on a south Texas farm in the l930s. Porter's prose is dry and understated but she wields a masterfully descriptive pen that says more in one sentence than most books in one chapter. I must have read it 50 times and will probably read it 50 more.
