$\"\"$ ABOUT THE BOOK: <\/strong>A sudden snowfall in Houston reveals family secrets. A trip to Universal Studios to snap a picture of the shark from Jaws becomes a battle of wills between father and son. A midnight s\u00e9ance and the ghost of Janis Joplin conjure the mysteries of sex. A young boy\u2019s pilgrimage to see Elvis Presley becomes a moment of transformation. A young woman discovers the responsibilities of talent and freedom.<\/p>\n

Pictures of the Shark<\/em>, by Houston native and Dobie Paisano award-winning author Thomas H. McNeely, traces a young man’s coming of age and falling apart. From the rough and tumble of Houston’s early seventies East End to the post-punk Texas bohemia of late eighties Austin, this novel in stories examines what happens when childhood trauma haunts adult lives. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
