Synopsis

Ron Rash has been acclaimed as 'the best American novelist I have come upon in the last twenty years' (Scotsman), a writer with an 'exceptional quality of characterisation and storytelling' (Irvine Welsh). Set deep in the heart of the Appalachian mountains, this new collection of short stories confirms his reputation again and again. "Nothing Gold Can Stay" transports the reader to another place, and illuminates the world around us in unexpected ways.

About this title

'Rash can create a character in a single sentence; this is the great American short story at its best' The Times
