Anguish of Angola

By A. C. Hooper

Damon Favre walks out of Louisiana's Angola prison at dawn with a paper sack, a stained Qur'an, and a vow to make "boring" holy. In Baton Rouge he keeps his head down at Legere's auto shop, answers Sergeant LeJeune's check-ins without excuses, and rebuilds a life one small practice at a time. He tries to become the father his son DQ can trust, helps turn a barbershop back room into a recording studio, and learns that careful work can be a kind of prayer. The past still hums like the yard light at Angola. Love arrives anyway, steady as breath. Anguish of Angola is a tender, unsentimental novel about routine, craft, faith, queerness, and the slow apprenticeship of becoming trustworthy.
