From the Publisher: “When a contemporary writer turns her imagination loose inside the images of an iconic artist of the past, the result is storytelling magic at its best…Then as now, Americans have struggled with poverty, illness and betrayal. These fictions reveal our fellow countrymen and women living with grace and strong leanings toward virtue, despite the troubles that face them”
Before I received a copy of Scenes from the Heartland, I was familiar with the lithographs of Thomas Hart Benton. The stories Benton tells in his art are vivid depictions of rural life in the early 20th century. I felt his lithographs absolutely come alive in the 9 short stories Donna Baier-Stein has written.
It is so hard to mention a favorite story, the stories of life in America’s heartland are all wonderful, but I would choose The Sweet Perfume of Somewhere Else and Under the Weight of his Mothers Body. All 9 stories are well written and capture a time and a place in a way that I know you’ll enjoy reading as I did.
Thank you Donna Baier Stein for the complimentary copy, I enjoyed every minute… (lisätietoja)
