Beskrivelse
From the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling award-winning author of Serena and The Cove, thirty of his finest short stories, collected in one volume.No one captures the complexities of Appalachiaa rugged, brutal landscape of exquisite beautyas evocatively and indelibly as author and poet Ron Rash. Winner of the Frank OConnor International Short Story Award, two O Henry prizes, and a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award, Rash brilliantly illuminates the tensions between the traditional and the modern, the old and new south, tenderness and violence, man and nature. Though the focus is regional, the themes of Rashs work are universal, striking an emotional chord that resonates deep within each of our lives.Something Rich and Strange showcases this revered masters artistry and craftsmanship in thirty stories culled from his previously published collections Nothing Gold Can Stay, Burning Bright, Chemistry, and The Night New Jesus Fell to Earth. Each work of short fiction demonstrates Rashs dazzling ability to evoke the heart and soul of this land and its peoplemen and women inexorably tethered to the geography that defines and shapes them. Filled with suspense and myth, hope and heartbreak, told in language that flows like shimmering, liquid poetry (Atlanta Journal Constitution), Something Rich and Strange is an iconic work from an American literary virtuoso.
