A Time of Unsearchable Things

By William Cook Haigwood

Some at the funeral told Jackson Selph his wife's accident was a tragedy though he did not think it a tragedy. He loved his two children and still had his home. Six months later he had lost his children and his home and slept alone on a cot in a country shack. He began to see the vague outline of a tragedy but did not suspect the person he trusted most was a co-creator of his suffering. A chance discovery uncovered a truth that might have freed Selph. Instead, a rash response pinned him tighter in his trap, forcing a deadly and irrevocable choice and a reckoning as old as human misfortune.A Time of Unsearchable Things is the story of corruptible innocence; of a young, widowed father abandoned by the fickle whim of a god-like boss who, in order to win a bet, allows his most loyal employee to endure a cruel and senseless calamity. Set in Humboldt County California in 1974, this new novel by William Cook Haigwood tells a fateful tale of betrayal against the backdrop of the area's emerging rural Counterculture. It is the first in a series of novels featuring characters grown from the swelling turmoil of the Sixties who collide with uncomfortable realities left in the era's long, insurgent and disorderly wake. William Cook Haigwood is also the author of Journeying the Sixties: A Counterculture Tarot, a recently published metahistory of the 20th century's longest decade. Seventy-eight of the author's iconic Sixties photos appear as Tarot cards that accompany researched essays offering new readings of the period's crucial touch points. A Time of Unsearchable Things is the first novel in Haigwood's thematic fiction series, Stories of the Post-Counterculture.
