In her first full-length story collection, author A. Manette Ansay explores the rural Midwest landscape and the people who inhabit it: ordinary folk with extraordinary inner lives, struggling to make sense of the isolated, sometimes painful, and often intensely religious worlds in which they live. Her are 15 haunting and exquisitely written tales that offer a rare and unforgettable glimpse into the complexities of being human and being alive.
A. Manette Ansay is the author of eight books, including Vinegar Hill, Midnight Champagne (a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award), and Blue Water. She has received the Pushcart Prize, two Great Lakes Book Awards, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. She teaches in the MFA writing program at the University of Miami.

Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. 1st Edition. First edition. Winner of the Associated Writing Programs Award for Short Fiction. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Ansay's voice adapts itself to a range of viewpoints--events seen through the eyes of children, of old women, of abandoned wives--each vision authentic and rewarding. At the center of the collection is this society's commonplace: the broken family. But each family is, like Tolstoy's Karenins, unhappy in its own way, and each of their stories shows us a different face of disruption. This is a winning collection worthy of its prize."--Robley Wilson. "It is wonderful in this day and age to find a writer as gifted as Ansay so entirely in touch with a real place. In Ansay's case, it's Holly's Field, Wisconsin, the gritty, rural setting of her acclaimed first novel, Vinegar Hill, and now of her brilliant new collection of short stories, READ THIS AND TELL ME WHAT IT SAYS. Holly's Field is a place no reader will soon forget, where ordinary, completely believable Midwestern people, drawn with great compassion and originality, experience the most extraordinary revelations. This is first-rate fiction from one of America's finest young writers."--Howard Frank Mosher. Pristine hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a shiny, intact jacket. N° de réf. du vendeur RUB2159
