Jujitsu for Christ Counter Display

Jack Butler. Penguin Books, $69.5 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-14-778244-1

Growing up in turbulent Mississippi in the 1950s and 1960s, Roger Wing embraces Jesus and the art of jujitsu, but eventually gives up both. PW praised Butler's ""accurate ear for Southern dialects and a poet's way with prose'' but lamented his ``overly contrived plot.'' (February)
