Kentucky Straight

Kentucky Straight

Author(s): Chris Offutt

Location(s): Kentucky

Genre(s): Short Stories

Era(s): 2nd half 20th century

Riveting, often heartbreaking stories that take readers through country that is figuratively and literally unmapped. These stories are set in a nameless community too small to be called a town, a place where wanting an education is a mark of ungodly arrogance and dowsing for water a legitimate occupation. Offutt has received a James Michener Grant and a Kentucky Arts Council Award
