Product 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
Customer Reviews
Fiction (mostly) but an accurate representation of rough mountain life during difficult times. Full display of the range of human emotions, desires and addictions. Cuts to the point and well written. Reminiscent of Hemmingway's style. It would have been interesting to see what he'd be writing these days had he lived. Stories that are cutting and emotionally pointed. A little depressing but certainly true to life in many Appalachian places. No shade on the bad spots.I hope he rests in peace.
