Not Normal, Illinois – Peculiar Fictions from the Flyover

Autor Michael Martone, Max Apple, Joel Brouwer, Robert Coover, Robert Day
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 aug 2009
Do Midwesterners have a peculiar way of looking at the world? Is there something not quite right about the way they see things? For such a normal place, the heartland has produced some writers who take a most individual approach to storytelling. And the result to the delight of readers everywhere has been stories that reveal the mystery, joy, and enchantment in the most ordinary and incidental moments of life. These 33 exceptional tales showcase the peculiarly wonderful vision of some of the region s best-known or soon-to-be-celebrated writers. Each invites its readers to see the world through different eyes and see it anew."

Recenzii

"This anthology is an unusually insightful one and serves an important purpose in the context of American fiction writing." R. M. Berry, Florida State University"Just as the Midwest, this vast, various, and unclassifiable place, is not nearly so conventional as it's reputed to be, the literature of the heartland has a long tradition of original, innovative writing that is flourishing today more than ever." Porter Shreve, author of The Obituary Reader
