Winner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Fiction, this
collection of tales returns readers to the American Northwest so
deftly observed and powerfully evoked in John Keeble's previous
works. Nocturnal America occupies a terrain at once familiar and
strange, where homecoming and dislocation can coincide, and
families can break apart or hone themselves on the hard edges of
daily life. In these stories, Keeble populates what journalist Joel
Garreau once called the "Empty Quarter" of North America with
complex humanity. Life ranges vibrantly through these airy spaces,
at times finding itself thrown up against the shifty terrors of
political and cultural change. Keeble's stories hinge on love-its
difficulty, its loss and pangs, but also its discovery of good
fortune. As his characters come and go, unexpectedly converging,
vanishing, or reappearing, their stories reach beyond the
ordinariness of life.
