ISBN: 0813119480 ISBN-13: 9780813119489 Publisher: University Press of Kentucky OUR PRICE: $23.75 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: October 1995 Annotation: The stories in Bobbie Ann Mason's remarkable collection read like poetic transcriptions of day-to-day life. With her keen eye and ear for late twentieth-century popular culture, Mason can render a photograph of a brightly lit supermarket or a bit of wisdom from the Donahue show. Her characters are not people from Hollywood or Cannes, but folks we might run into at a movie theater or an interstate rest area, not just in western Kentucky but all across small-town America. In these bewildered people we see - and relate to - their often desperate quests to mark their places in the world. This special Kentucky edition of a beloved local author's work includes a new foreword by George Ella Lyon, also a Kentucky writer and a friend of the author. |
