Pratt, a young Floridian who's just finished a prison sentence he both did and didn't deserve, is looking to start a new life. But will he be able to shake his shady past? Brimming with tension, action, wry dialogue, and unexpected pathos, \u003ci\u003ePenalties of June\u003c\/i\u003e is John Brandon's sixth book published by McSweeney's. With his distinct feel for the underbelly of his home state of Florida, Brandon takes readers into the forbidding corners of the Tampa Bay area--unsavory motels, secondhand shops, no-frills diners, and dubious used-car lots. Pratt navigates crime bosses and drug dealers on a perilous mission, his steed a trusty (if creaky) Chrysler LeBaron. Faced with an impossible choice, and the prospect of finally finding love after years behind bars, Pratt risks it all for a chance at making things right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Brandon has published five previous books with McSweeney's--the novels\u003cem\u003e Arkansas\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCitrus County\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eA Million Heavens\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eIvory Shoals\u003c\/em\u003e, and the story collection \u003cem\u003eFurther Joy\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eArkansas\u003c\/em\u003e was adapted into a movie of the same name starring Liam Hemsworth, Vince Vaughn, and John Malkovich.\u003cem\u003e Citrus County\u003c\/em\u003e was a finalist for the New York Public Library Young Lions Award and was reviewed on the cover of \u003cem\u003ethe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Brandon has been awarded the Grisham Fellowship at Ole Miss and the Tickner Fellowship at Gilman School in Baltimore, and he has received a Sustainable Arts Foundation Fellowship.
