Knockemstiff

Spanning the era from the mid-1960s to the late 1990s, a collection of stories journeys inside the world of the diverse inhabitants of Knockemstiff, a tough, Midwestern town, as their lives change and intertwine, capturing such characters as the father who pumps his son full of steroids to relive his own days as a body builder, a psychotic rural recluse, and an incestuous pair of siblings. 25,000 first printing.

Este libro de cuentos es todo lo que busco en un libro de cuentos. Literal, Ray Pollock a mi lista de favoritos YA. Todos los personajes muy oscuros, son historias que te dejan algo, no hay cuento que aburra o que mañana te vayas a olvidar.

Blunt, brutal, but infused with a deep sympathy, Knockemstiff is a pitch-dark and hilarious collection of stories set in a tiny town in Southern Ohio. The youth of Knockemstiff grow up in the malignant shadow of their parents; raised on abuse, alcohol, drugs and cigarettes, they are stunted in every possible way: emotionally, mentally, sometimes physically. They talk a lot about escape but they never so much as cross the county line.
