About the Book
Farmer's Almanac cracks open America's rural core to reveal moments of stark beauty and cruelty-a Midwestern Gothic collection of short stories.
Book Synopsis
Farmer's Almanac cracks open America's rural core to reveal moments of stark beauty and cruelty-a Midwestern Gothic. An imaginary handbook for rural living as timeless and essential as its namesake. But this is no American pastoral. Fink's vision is more Orwell than Rockwell. Farmer's Almanac reports the news from mythical Odette County, Wisconsin, where the milk prices keep falling, and the forecast is not good.
Now includes a foreword by Bonnie Jo Campbell!
