Set in a small town in the northernmost part of the Pioneer Valley
area of western Massachusetts, Wilson Roberts' third novel,
Incident on Tuckerman Court is a tale of love confounded by bizarre
forms of betrayal and friendship. One morning at breakfast,
University of Massachusetts professor Thomas Rutherford's physician
wife, Jan Travis, changes the course of their lives by revealing a
profound change of heart. Frightened and disoriented by this
revelation, Rutherford walks outside to gather his wits and is
attacked on the street in front of his home by two men who beat him
mercilessly, leaving him blind in one eye. The ground of his
marriage dropping away beneath him, Rutherford is forced to live in
a suddenly two-dimensional world where everything he holds dear is
vulnerable. His marriage, his daughter Miriam's safety, his job,
the security of life in his small shire town and his grasp on
reality are threatened when one of his attackers returns. The
mysterious Joseph speaks of remorse for the attack and vows an
undying friendship that drives Rutherford to the edge of
desperation as he fends off Joseph's many poses and varying
personalities. Readers will be amused by Roberts' picture of small
town life in the midst of economic recession as they follow Thomas
Rutherford's fear and confusion right up to the story's final
words. Incident on Tuckerman Court gives a perverse twist to
Flannery O'Connor's use of the grotesque in the service of faith.
Wilson Roberts' previous novels published by Fantastic Books are,
The Cold Dark Heart of the World, a supernatural thriller, and The
Serpent and the Hummingbird, a story about the conflict between
faith and reason set among Pentecostal serpent handlers in the
Carolina Mountains. All three novels are available in hardcover and
paperback and available from local and on-line booksellers.
