I re-read Fences (50's), Two Trains Running (60's) and Jitney (70's) in September and October, so I moved from Seven Guitars straight to King Hedley II. Which turns out to be a good thing-as several characters form Guitars are present and the focus in King Hedley II. Set in 1985 in the backyard of the same building from Guitars we focus on the next generation of the folks from Guitars. We see in stark contrast what has changed over the intervening 40 years, and what has not. Wilson has lost none of the impact in his writing as he goes through his cycle.
