Description
A collection of short stories that memorably capture American life in rural Appalachia by Breece D’J Pancake, the brilliant writer praised by Joyce Carol Oates as “a young writer of such extraordinary gifts that one is tempted to compare his debut to Hemingway’s.”
Breece D’J Pancake cut short a promising career when he took his own life at the age twenty-six. Published posthumously, this is a collection of stories that depict the world of Pancake’s native rural West Virginia with astonishing power and grace.
“Breece D’J Pancake’s is an exceptional voice: gritty, mordant, invested with the texture of stroked reality, urgent, and haunting.” -Margaret Atwood
