The Many Deaths of the Firefly Brothers. Thomas Mullen

      Men’s memories are uncertain, and the past that was differs little from the past that was not.

      —CORMAC McCARTHY, BLOOD MERIDIAN

      It seemed a little too pat. It had the austere simplicity of fiction rather than the tangled woof of fact.

      —RAYMOND CHANDLER, THE BIG SLEEP
