| EL LEÓN LITERARY ARTS is proud to announce our 12th title, May 1, 2008 RED MOUNTAIN Birmingham Alabama, 1965 A novel by CHARLES ENTREKIN |
Advance praise for Red Mountain
“Charles Entrekin masterfully evokes the great struggles of the early 1960s—the
civil rights movement, the anti-war movement, the sexual liberation movement—
as they might have been experienced by a sensitive, intelligent young Southern
white man who is locked in his own private struggle to escape the constraints of
his blue-collar, anti-intellectual background. This fine, deeply felt novel will have
a permanent place in the literature documenting the massive upheavals of those
tumultuous times.”
Ed McClanahan, author of Famous People I Have Known

ABOUT
CHARLES
ENTREKIN
CHARLES
ENTREKIN
“Riveting. As disturbing as it is irresistible.
Poet and novelist Charles Entrekin’s cast of
Southern characters mature in a world rife
with racial and sexual tension. Skewered on
the horns of their own philosophies, they
ultimately come face-to-face with the devastating
aftermath of their innocence and insouciance.
An absolute page-turner.”
Linda Watanabe McFerrin, author of
Namako: Sea Cucumber and The Hand of Buddha
