A ninth-grade girl who marries in haste only to be faced with her husband's impotence. A libidinous poet who learns the meaning of harassment. The life and loves of a professional lawn-mower. These are just a few of the distinctive stories that make up Mark Winegardner's remarkable debut short-story collection. \u003cbr\u003e Winegardner, whose rich and epic novel Crooked River Burning gave the much-maligned city of Cleveland a fresh and vibrant aspect, now returns to the Midwest that he knows so intimately and casts a piercingly compassionate eye on its denizens. The result is a kaleidoscopic picture of a people who are arrogant and humble, faithful and disloyal, driven and floundering-a people who are finally, America itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003cem\u003eCROOKED RIVER BURNING\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[Winegardner's] main achievement is a narrative voice . . . one that's distinctly his own.\"--\u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An ambitious novel . . .
