The Way of the Culture

Jesco Morgan is a bare-knuckle fighter who's trying to survive in the poverty-stricken town of Uproar. The southern Indiana town, filled with drug dealers, run-down neighborhoods, and people living off food stamps and disability checks, is the place that Jesco has always called home. When his ailing mother wants him to go out and buy her "medicine" with his fight winnings, the reluctant Jesco agrees, but the good son's nurturing ways are met with dire consequences. (Grit Lit, Transgressive)The Way of the Culture is also included in the book Hard Luck: Stories by Jeremy Perry.
