Kentucky Straight: Stories by Chris Offutt
5.0
This is one of the best collections of short stories I've ever read. This will make me a fan for life. I am now an Offutt-evangelist. Buy this book, please. It will do you good. I'm about to buy everything he's written over at Powell's.
And unless your heart is made of stone, it will upset you. Kentucky Straight is a collection of stories set in a nameless section of the Kentucky Appalachians. The book oozes depression, addiction, illness, cultural collapse. It's a downer, but a really delicious one. The best mountain lyrics live in its spine.
