Where A Long Song For Bobby Long will eventually find its place is yet unknown, our acquaintance is less a day old. But I feel like I've known its characters all my life. Bobby Long and Lawson Pines: a former English professor and his teaching assistant, best friends, broke and degenerate alcoholics; they remind me of Jess Mariano, or at least Jess as I wrote him. Pursalane Will: 17-year-old high school drop out, who finds her way into their lives after her mother's death. They're easy to love.
