I need to get my own copy of this. The author was in the writing program at UVa when I attended. His stories are set in West Virginia. I think Jayne Ann Phillips quote from the cover describes the book well: "Breece Pancake's stories comprise no less than an American "Dubliners". We find here a landscape preserved in rich sadness because it is forgotten, a people whose lives are informed by loss, wrenching cruelty, and the luminous dignity which marks the endurance of all that is most human."

Racconti che parlano di natura e uomini da vicino, con semplicità e maestosità. Non griderei al capolavoro, ma il respiro da classico americano di questa scrittura è innegabile.

I am very impressed with this regional American voice. The stories are in the vein of Carver, Hemingway, and Anderson[1], and several of them lacerated me in such a way that I will never forget them. The selection of letters perfectly illuminates this singular writer.

Full review forthcoming in Rain Taxi, likely in 2021.

[1] IN one of the letters, Pancake states that without Sherwood Anderson, he would not have written a thing.

Rake, goed geschreven en uit het leven gegrepen kortverhalen over de uitzichtloosheid van het bestaan in het Amerikaanse binnenland. De tragische auteur Breece ‘dj’ Pancake was jong en erg getalenteerd, maar besloot zelf uit het leven te stappen.
Zijn nalatenschap zijn 12 kortverhalen die het harde leven in het binnenland tastbaar maken voor de lezer: over afwezige en dronken vaders, ontwrichte families, kansloos opgroeien, vechten als reden van bestaan, ...
Knappe bundel voor lezers van Harry Crews & Donald Ray Pollock… (més)
