This collection of fourteen essays by Charles Dodd White-praised by
Silas House as "one of the best prose stylists of Appalachian
literature"-explores the boundaries of family, loss, masculinity,
and place. Contemplating the suicides of his father, uncle, and
son, White meditates on what it means to go on when seemingly
everything worth living for is lost. What he discovers is an
intimate connection to the natural world, a renewed impulse to
understand his troubled family history, and a devotion to following
the clues that point to the possibility of a whole life. Avoiding
easy sentiment and cliche, White's transformative language drives
toward renewal. A Year without Months introduces lively and
memorable characters, as the author draws on a wide range of
emotions to analyze everything, including himself.
