Summary

Meet Joey Tallon, the overweight, caravan-dwelling resident of Scotsfield, the quintessential one-horse town. A man of disrepute perhaps, but when he sees Boyle Henry, Hoss and the other heavies of the town move into positions of wealth and respectability, Joey decides that enough is enough.

Call Me the Breeze Summary

Call Me the Breeze by Patrick McCabe

Joey Tallon has witnessed many profound changes in the small town of Scotsfield. The men have changed from brutality and corruption to wealth and respectability. And Joey's transformed himself too, and it's his love for Jacy that's brought the transformation. So now Joey Tallon is gonna tell it like it was...But who'll believe a kidnapper, a fantasist, a jailbird, when he says he knows the truth about the past the Scotsfield men would rather leave buried? And who's brave enough to hear his testimony?
