Breece D'J Pancake cut short a remarkably promising career when he took his own life in 1979 at the age twenty-six. In 1983 the posthumous publication of this book—a collection of stories that depict, with astonishing power and grace, the world of Pancake’s native rural West Virginia—electrified the literary world with a force that still resounds across decades.
