Bøker av Pinckney Benedict

A new volume of fourteen short stories from the author of Town Smokes and The Wrecking Yard. This new collection bristles with portraits of the grotesque, the disconsolate, the cruel and the lonely, and all of them heading to those singular incidents in which we find recognition, epiphany and, sometimes, compassion.

A collection of nine short stories set in the American South, depicted as odd and idiosyncratic. Emerging from the harsh realities of difficult lives, the stories are full of the violence of love and the love of violence. The author won the 1995 Steinbeck Award for "Dogs of God".
