R. T. Smith's "Sherburne" chronicles the title family's encounters
with ruthlessness over several generations. The patriarch discovers
himself when he encounters Sherman's horse soldiers in 1864
Georgia, and his son, working in law enforcement in the Virginia
Blue Ridge, finds himself struggling with moral issues in a harsh
landscape. As practitioners and victims of violence, the Sherburne
family makes an apt portrait of Smith's conviction that even those
who resort to force on behalf of their community must bear the
responsibility and carry the scars.
"Ranging through time from the Civil War to the present, this
intricate and exquisitely written collection further confirms that
R. T. Smith is one of America's best writers. "Sherburne" is a
magnificant acheivement."--Ron Rash
