Cairo
by Arthur Melville Pearson
Synopsis
James Jennsen has informed his family that at midnight tonight, his deceased mother and grandparents are returning to pick him up in a blue '51 Chevy.
Alarmed, his sisters and father gather for dinner at the soon-to-be-subdivided family farm in Cairo, Illinois.
What begins as a humorous kitchen-sink drama unfolds into a poetic exploration of the spiritual and physical consequences of a family's disconnection, both from each other and the land they love.
