Along the Ridge— Part One (Leaving Southern Megalopolis) is the latest from ‘s. talbot’. In this compelling post-modern tale set in Atlanta, the narrator takes on all history from his office ‘perch’ on Peachtree Street. A psychologist on the edge, alternately preaching to the throngs and coercing his former patients in this dark, comic gaffe. Can ‘sessions’ with his former patients construct a new system in time to combat his encroaching malaise. Can his city save him?
