American Salvage is rich with local color and peopled with rural
characters who love and hate extravagantly. They know how to fix
cars and washing machines, how to shoot and clean game, and how to
cook up methamphetamine, but they have not figured out how to
prosper in the twenty-first century. Through the complex inner
lives of working-class characters, Bonnie Jo Campbell illustrates
the desperation of post-industrial America, where wildlife, jobs,
and whole ways of life go extinct and the people have no choice but
to live off what is left behind.
