“A gorgeous, brutal writer.”
—Richard Price, New York Times bestselling author of Lush Life and Clockers

With this masterful collection of stories that span the Civil War to the present day, Rash, a supremely talented writer who “recalls both John Steinbeck and Cormac McCarthy” (The New Yorker), solidifies his reputation as a major contemporary American literary artist.
