A DOZEN PALMS: A Tale in Thirteen Stories is reminiscent of Southern Realism in the history of the quintessential American novel, canvassing raw human emotions in the gritty and deserted backdrop of infernal heat, dearth, poverty and loneliness. Ray Blackburn weaves every interconnected tale with a plethora of recurring characters and a recurring rage between the different members of a dysfunctional family. Yet, what shines throughout these morose and frustrating stories, set in a stifling town in Texas, is the odd tenderness of a father’s love even when his affection for his children becomes more bane than boon.
