About this product
Product Information
Jacob Jump, the dark and meticulously crafted first novel from Eric Morris, follows a weeklong ill-fated boating trip down the Savannah River from Augusta, Georgia, to the lighthouse at Tybee Island. Chance and danger trump planning and intention at every turn, and the pull of the historic river and of fate itself propels Morris's characters with unrelenting force. Old friends Thomas Verdery and William Rhind, each seeking temporary escape from the failures of their lives, take to the river with Rhind's father. Verdery, a native southerner, has left his job and lover in Nepaug, Connecticut, while Rhind has lost his wife and child to his drinking. Encounters with dangerous weather and unhinged locals imperil the trio, who are held at gunpoint when they try to dock and soon are fighting among themselves. The hazards of the trip and a shocking loss along the way exacerbate William Rhind's drinking and tendencies toward violence. When Verdery and Rhind must become reluctant custodians to young Caron Lee, a lost girl from the backwoods family that had previously accosted them, tensions build toward explosive ends as the serene open waters of the Atlantic Ocean wait just beyond reach on the unknown, unknowable horizon. Guided by a host of influences from William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway to Cormac McCarthy, James Dickey, and Ron Rash, Morris's prose brings readers deep into the uncertainties of a still-wild southern landscape and of the frailties of the human heart yearning for past and future alike while pulled along by the inescapable current of the present. Best-selling writer and Story River Books editor at large Pat Conroy provides a foreword to the novel.

Eric Morriss Jacob Jump is half hallucinatory prose poem, half mythic journey, and, with every passing mile-marker, a work of gathering and genuine beauty. The journey down the Savannah River, rendered with such knowing precision, will surely bring to mind James Dickeys Deliverance, but the psychological nuances of this voyage put me more in mind of the work of the great Josephine Humphries. Jacob Jump is a work of art that also just happens to be an absolutely riveting read. Its a novel I won't soon forget.Mark Powell, author of The Sheltering, "Eric Morris's Jacob Jump is half hallucinatory prose poem, half mythic journey, and, with every passing mile-marker, a work of gathering and genuine beauty.

[He] is a writer to be closely watched and his novel is as finely crafted as a Swiss timepiece. It has a perfection of design that is satisfying and a scope that is as ambitious as it is finely wrought."--Pat Conroy, from the foreword, "After reading Jacob Jump my first question was: how did this first-time novelist get so good? Jacob Jump is a remarkable book, and Eric Morris is a major talent. His storytelling is first-rate. His characters are dimensional and believable. And his ability to put you in a scene is extraordinary."--Peter Leonard, best-selling author of Voices of the Dead, "If Ernest Hemingway and Carson McCullers co-wrote a novel about a trip down the Savannah River that novel would be titled Jacob Jump. With dialogue as sharp and clear as water rolling over rocks and with familiar landscapes portrayed as starkly and as hauntingly as an alien world, Eric Morris shows that a trip down a river can be a trip through time to places where memory and regret lurk in closed-off spaces that are more perilous and unsettling than the deepest of waters on the blackest of nights."Wiley Cash, author of This Dark Road to Mercy, After reading Jacob Jump my first question was: how did this first-time novelist get so good?

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!
