Shitting and pissing all over themselves because finally, too late, they understand. Understand whose skull is split by the ax at the end of the tunnel." Two-time PEN-Faulkner award winner John Edgar Wideman will read more of this or other passages from his new novel The Cattle Killing tonight. Harmonica virtuoso Sugar Blue will also perform.
