Big Lonesome — Joseph Scapellato
An inventive, ranging debut story collection from a writer hailed by Charles Yu as "a stunningly original voice -- warm, bleak, dark, ecstatic, full of silences and power and life"
Reinventing a great American tradition through an absurdist, discerning eye, Joseph Scapellato uses these twenty-five stories to conjure worlds, themes, and characters who are at once unquestionably familiar and undeniably strange. Big Lonesome navigates through the American West -- from the Old West to the modern-day West to the Midwest, from cowboys to mythical creatures to everything in between -- exploring place, myth, masculinity, and what it means to be whole or to be broken.
