Bluetongue and Other Michigan Stories

The characters in Bluetongue and Other Michigan Stories recall those of Jim Harrison or even Hemingway; their circumstances are shot through with tragedy both befallen and self-inflicted. Engaging and surprising and told in prose remarkable for its sentence-by-sentence loveliness as well as its precision these linked stories are exactly what good fiction should be: satisfying but also heartbreaking.Set against the regions beauty - its farms and woods and lakes its still-wide swaths of wilderness - these stories show us not just cautionary tales the case and effect of lifetimes of choices but imperfect grace-filled human lives.- Hadley Moore author of Not Dead Yet
