Product DescriptionRun a Quick Search on "High Lonesome" by Barry Hannah to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "High Lonesome"Browse more products related to "Barry Hannah"Review"Barry Hannah writes the most consistently interesting sentences of any writer in America today....Hannah is forever setting innocence and experience up against each other--no contest, of course--but in a way that never belittles the dear faith of the former. It amounts to something profound, and of a lyrical writer we cannot demand more." "Each of these 13 stories gives a deep look into the human soul through the eyes of engaging, original characters. You should meet them." "Thirteen vivid, scabrous, and noisy stories..." Publisher's noteThese stories explore lost moments in time with intensity, emotion, and an eye to the past. In "Uncle High Lonesome", a young man recalls his Uncle Peter, whose even temper was marred only by his drinking binges, which would unleash moments of rage hinting at his much deeper distress. Fishing is transformed into a life-altering, almost mystical event in" A Creature in the Bay of St. Louis", when a huge fish caught on a line threatens to pull a young boy, and his entire world with him, underwater and out to sea. And in "Snerd and Niggero", a deep friendship between two men is inspired by the loss of a woman they both love - a woman who was mistress to one and wife to the other. Viewed through memory and time's distance, Hannah's characters are brightly illuminated figures from a lost time, whose lives - occasionally bleak - are still uncommonly true. High Lonesome is a darkly comic, fiercely tragic, and always strikingly original odyssey into American life. AnnotationA collection of short stories, mostly set in the small towns of the American South.
