Steve Weddle - Country Hardball (Tyrus
Books) November 18, 2013
After
more than a decade spent in and out of juvenile detention, halfway
houses, and jail, Roy Alison returns to his rural hometown determined
to do better, to be better. But what he finds is a working-class
community devastated by the economic downturn--a town without
anything to hold onto but the past.
Staying
with his grandmother, Roy discovers a family history of good
intentions and bad choices, of making do without much chance of doing
better. Around him, families lose their sons to war, hunting
accidents, drugs. And Roy, along with the town, falls into old
patterns established generations ago.
A
novel-in-stories in the tradition of Bonnie Jo Campbell, Donald Ray
Pollock, Denis Johnson, and Alan Heathcock, Country
Hardball is
a powerfully observed and devastatingly understated portrait of the
American working class.
"Steve
Weddle's Country
Hardball is
a perfect combination of the brokenhearted and the just flat broke...
Here's hoping Weddle never stops writing..." --Benjamin
Whitmer,
author of Pike
