Description: This collection of eight stories by the award-winning author of Kentucky Straight, The Same River Twice, and The Good Brother confirms Tobias Wolff's declaration that Chris Offutt is "one of the best writers of short fiction in his-or any-generation."

Offutt captures the lives of men shaped by the rough, isolated culture of rural Kentucky. Seeking to escape their heritage and their own failures, they have moved on -- only to be haunted by the past and a longing for home. A deputy sheriff, proud of his adjustment to a new town, realizes that he carries a dark legacy; a man and a woman desperate for money to continue their wanderings, triumph in an unconventional prizefight and inadvertently destroy their love; and a man finds he can only gain the respect of his father by shooting at him with a rifle.
