MIGHTY MIGHTY
Following up on his impressive literary crime debut with Four Corners, Wally Rudolph’s new novel is set in Chicago, where two families struggle to get out from under their history of violence and poverty. But one mistake puts them in the crosshairs of a twisted ex-cop.
Mighty, Mighty is an urban fable about two sisters barely getting by in a filthy Chicago. Dirty apartments, tattoo parlors, food kitchens – these are the markers of home for the struggling girls. Stefy is an artist at Ghost Town, the local tattoo shop, trying to provide for her younger sister Amanda and their ailing grandfather. Amanda is hoping for something better, seeking to escape a past riddled with addiction and an abusive boyfriend. Then comes a drunken encounter in a bar, a violent attack, and Amanda’s ex-boyfriend winds up dead in the bathroom. This puts both sisters in the crosshairs of a violently unstable ex-cop who wants revenge for his son’s murder – and will stop at nothing in seeking his own brand of justice.
Wally Rudolph, born in Canada to Jamaican immigrant parents, had a fifteen-year affair with illicit drugs that forced him to drop out of college and travel across the American Midwest. His fiction can be found in the literary journals Milk Money, Lines+Stars, Palooka, Slush Pile, The Brooklyner, and the anthology, Literary Pasadena.
