Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. They live in a world ruled by aggression, strength and the ability to use these feelings in completing hard manual work. These are stories you can't outrun, stories that get uttered at closing time. Stories by Lisa Graley Goodreads Author 4. The men of Windfall still vie on the time-honored fields of contest--from bars to bedrooms to football fields--but none is sure any longer what is won or lost. By the end, we're like Shade and his characters in the way we feel about our own hometown.

Margot Singer's The Pale of Settlement , for example, focuses mostly on one extended Jewish family, and Carole Glickfeld's Useful Gifts bothers itself entirely with one little girl growing up in a hearing-impaired family.

That there's a kind of unity of dread and apathy if those two things can go together? I have to think that something beyond a kind of Cormac McCarthy horror most of whose work I actually don't care much for sticks with me. Perhaps, it is the design of this book. The book has gone through two cover designs.
The hardcover jacket featured, at top, a photo of a gun and a deer—appropriate, since deer hunting is an activity the characters are known to partake in—and at bottom, a grainy, blown-out image of a car on a highway. It's the latter that I found so utterly captivating.
The car looks like one of those oversized monstrosities from the s, and the photo itself looks like something of that era. Once upon a time, this was a great car on a cool-looking highway, and now, there's this: Eyesores would come to have a different cover design in its paper edition.
