Lim tells the exciting adventures of a hard-drinking gambler, Limbrick Appleton, better known as Lim, whose peculiarly eccentric theory of life was: It’s alright to work with your hands as long as it’s dealing poker or using a shovel to look for buried treasures.

The story also deals with the effects of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s on both white and black, and with the rejuvenation of a long ago jilted romance of the Mississippi gambler. Is it ever too late to start over?… (more)
