PERFUME RIVER examines family ties with flashbacks from the Viet Nam War. The author's experience as an Army intelligence agent during that period gives him a great advantage in creating what many critics say is best novel yet by the Pulitzer Prize winner. This title has been selected as a Booksmith Timeless Classic, meaning it is among the best of the best for the last several decades. We will ship it free anywhere in the United States.

ROBERT OLEN BUTLER (pictured below from our Wall of Fame) and The Alabama Booksmith have a great relationship. Not just because the Pulitzer Prize winner is one of the great literary minds of this generation, nor because he launches every book tour at our store, not even because he acknowledged us in one of his books and actually wrote part of it here. At his launch a while back, he stole one of our booksellers, and he and Kelly have lived happily ever after. Thank you Robert Olen Butler for signing our books.
