With an introduction by Wade Hall
Morris Grubbs has sifted through vintage classics, little-known
gems, and stunning debuts to assemble this collection of forty
stories by popular and critically acclaimed writers. In subtle and
profound ways they challenge and overturn accepted stereotypes
about the land their authors call home, whether by birth or by
choice. Kentucky writers have produced some of the finest short
stories published in the last fifty years, much of which focuses on
the tension between the comforts of community and the siren-like
lure of the outside world. Arranged chronologically, from Robert
Penn Warren's "Blackberry Winter" to Crystal E. Wilkinson's
"Humming Back Yesterday," these stories are linked by their
juxtaposition of departures and returns, the familiar and the
unknown, home and beyond.
