Absurd humor questions the meaning of truth. Deep in Southern Illinois, called Little Egypt, the county sheriff and his young deputy scientifically bumble their way through the "Invasion of the Feral Swine." A prosecutor fresh out of law school brings the whole shebang into a court of law for the "Trial of the Man with No Name." Instead of science and law, the everyday people of Greens Point live on the minutia of life, their conversations dotted with nothings.Throughout these absurd events, Sunday evening chats between a reverend and his visitor link essential topics, speared by death, yet caught by hope, and told with a dash of humor. In bits from their talks, the reverend learns about his guest's past and the makeup of the man, including how he came up with the name "Atticus." The story closes with their final Sunday evening chat: from the mouth of an ex-con, truth is told to a dying reverend.Atticus from Shawneetown is the sequel to Tombs of Little Egypt (2022).
