Query: Has Edgerton lost his touch?

I was thoroughly disappointed with Clyde Edgerton's newest novel. Edgerton fails to create memorable and true-to-life characters as he usually does; I had trouble keeping names straight in the book, and I never felt as if I knew any of them. "Where Trouble Sleeps" is uncharacteristically vulgar and crude for a work by Edgerton. Frequent profanity and allusions to masturbation that have nothing to do with the plot are things one would expect from a mainstream novelist, not from a highly esteemed Southern author like Clyde Edgerton. Has he sold out to the rest of America and kissed the true South goodbye? Only his next novel will tell.
