Reviews
"One of the great American authors at work today." -- The New York Times "As good as any contemporary American novelist I've read." -- The Wall Street Journal "A riveting storyteller." -- Washington Post "Rash's spectacular stories may originate in the peculiar soil of Appalachia, but their reach and their rewards are vast." --NPR's Fresh Air "Rash's best genre...Rash is expert at revealing the sword of vengeance's double edge--how honed it is, how it cuts whomever wields it...A brace of strong stories, and the [title] novella's a fine, suspenseful contribution to the thriving genre of Appalachian mayhem." -- Kirkus (starred review) "Revelatory...In simple but eloquent prose, Rash describes the vulnerabilities, fears, and desires of his characters and shows how often they unite persons from vastly different walks of life and social strata. The skillful craftsmanship of these tales and their subtle but powerful climaxes make for profoundly moving reading." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), "Mesmerizing.. .In the Valley takes Serena to such a fever pitch of destruction that in a lesser writer's hands it might seem overheated. But Rash maintains the deep keel that has always distinguished him...He's one of the best living American writers, and his laconic understatement is much more powerful than excess...Haunting and darkly funny." --Janet Maslin, New York Times Book Review "One of the great American authors at work today." -- The New York Times "As good as any contemporary American novelist I've read." -- The Wall Street Journal "A riveting storyteller." -- Washington Post "Rash's spectacular stories may originate in the peculiar soil of Appalachia, but their reach and their rewards are vast." --NPR's Fresh Air "Complex tales of human failings and triumphs...Sacrifice, revenge, redemption and small acts of humanity play out to heart-wrenching effects in his hands. [The collection] promises a small glimmer of hope for humanity, and that's something we could use a dose of right now." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Rash's best genre...Rash is expert at revealing the sword of vengeance's double edge--how honed it is, how it cuts whomever wields it...A brace of strong stories, and the [title] novella's a fine, suspenseful contribution to the thriving genre of Appalachian mayhem." -- Kirkus (starred review) "Rash's lyrical, atmospheric collection, with its strong sense of place, will appeal to readers of Rick Bragg and Jesmyn Ward." -- Booklist (starred review) "Revelatory...In simple but eloquent prose, Rash describes the vulnerabilities, fears, and desires of his characters and shows how often they unite persons from vastly different walks of life and social strata. The skillful craftsmanship of these tales and their subtle but powerful climaxes make for profoundly moving reading." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Haunting...Rash profoundly immerses readers in the Appalachia he calls home. His latest collection is highly recommended not only for readers who value protecting our environment but also for anyone who enjoys well-told stories of justice and revenge." -- BookPage "At turns dark, craggy, and heart-wrenching, Rash's writing is never easy, but it is also lovely, moving, and rich in history and culture, just like the Appalachian region it so beautiful captures." -- Library Journal, "One of the great American authors at work today." -- The New York Times "As good as any contemporary American novelist I've read." -- The Wall Street Journal "A riveting storyteller." -- Washington Post "Rash's spectacular stories may originate in the peculiar soil of Appalachia, but their reach and their rewards are vast." --NPR's Fresh Air
Synopsis
From bestselling and award-winning writer Ron Rash ("One of the great American authors at work today."-- The New York Times ) comes a collection of ten searing stories and the return of the villainess who propelled Serena to national acclaim, in a long-awaited novella. Ron Rash has long been a revered presence in the landscape of American letters. A virtuosic novelist, poet, and story writer, he evokes the beauty and brutality of the land, the relentless tension between past and present, and the unquenchable human desire to be a little bit better than circumstances would seem to allow (to paraphrase Faulkner). In these ten stories, Rash spins a haunting allegory of the times we live in--rampant capitalism, the severing of ties to the natural world in the relentless hunt for profit, the destruction of body and soul with pills meant to mute our pain--and yet within this world he illuminates acts of extraordinary decency and heroism. Two of the stories have already been singled out for accolades: "Baptism" was chosen by Roxane Gay for inclusion in The Best American Short Stories 2018 , and "Neighbors" was selected by Jonathan Lethem for The Best American Mystery Stories 2019 . And in revisiting Serena Pemberton, Rash updates his bestselling parable of greed run amok as his deliciously vindictive heroine returns to the North Carolina wilderness she left scarred and desecrated to make one final effort to kill the child that threatens all she has accomplished. "A gorgeous, brutal writer" (Richard Price) working at the height of his powers, Ron Rash has created another mesmerizing look at the imperfect world around us., *Named a Garden & Gun and Atlanta Journal Constitution best book of the year* Winner of the 2020 Thomas Robinson Prize for Southern Literature Mesmerizing...He's one of the best living American writers.--Janet Maslin, New York Times Book Review From bestselling and award-winning writer Ron Rash (One of the great American authors at work today.-- The New York Times ) comes a collection of ten searing stories and the return of the villainess who propelled Serena to national acclaim, in a long-awaited novella.
