Thomas Christopher Greene's new novel is a modern telling of the Cain and Abel story that takes place in a restaurant. It's called I’ll Never be Long Gone, and it looks at how a family-owned restaurant shapes the destiny of three generations of men in one family and how the business affects their relationships as fathers, sons and brothers.

Tonight's show also includes a radio piece by producer Jay Allison. He tells the tale of the relationship between his father and his father's mentally retarded brother. The piece comes to us via the website PRX.org. You can listen to the story (and comment on it) by clicking here.
