Description
Scott McClanahan's Hill William is a poignant and powerful exploration of place and identity. As you begin to read, you'll feel like tuning into a blues station at 4:00 a.m., with the author's work soaring with a brisk and lively plainsong.
The story takes you back to West Virginia, where coal and heartbreak reign supreme. It's a place often overlooked in fiction, but McClanahan brings it vividly to life, testifying to the way place can both create and sometimes stifle our ability to hope. With its boisterous peek into this world, Hill William reads like a Homeric hymn to adventure, with all its ups and downs.
Grab a cup of coffee or beer, and settle in for a night of storytelling around the hearth. Lend Scott McClanahan your ear, but be warned: you might not want it back. His work has appeared in various publications, including New York Tyrant, Bomb, Vice, and Harper Perennial's Fifty-Two Stories.
