Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The best, most sincere writer I've ever read' Kurt VonnegutA lost classic of twentieth century American fiction. In 1983 the posthumous publication of this book - a collection of stories that depict, with astonishing power and grace, the world of Pancake's native rural West Virginia - electrified the literary world with a force that still resounds across two decades.The stories in this collection nearly all take place in and around the mountain hollows of West Virginia- a world of cock-fighting, coal-mining, deer-stalking, sex, depression, drinking and death.'It would be easy to allow his one collection of stories to be buried under the landslide of books published every year. But it's worth doing a little excavating to dig it up. The past few years have seen late-in-the-day and posthumous revivals of interest in writers such . John Williams.
