- Synopsis
- Brown Harvest is a 340 page unusual novel written by Jay Russell and first published in 2001. It was a finalist for the 2002 World Fantasy Award. The summary by Four Walls Eight Windows reads as follows: The Boy detective grows up, moves away, and comes home for a visit. His hometown's gone from American-as-apple-pie to darkest noir; his once innocent girlfriend has transformed into something both more and less than she once was; his father has become a bum on the skids - and that's the least of it. At once a parody and a tribute to childhood heroes, Brown Harvest turns and twists the fondest memories of characters familiar to anyone who grew up reading detective stories. Drawing on a tradition of borrowing from popular classics that stretches from Shakespeare on, Russell joyfully creates mayhem from colliding the worlds of hardboiled thrillers, "Young Adult" mysteries, and classic noir fiction.
