In this collection of linked stories, Barry Kitterman brings the dusty, fertile San Joaquin Valley vividly to lifea land of orange groves and religious revivals, where the mountains rise high on either side, marking the limits of the characters' lives. Kitterman writes with a plainspoken grace, showing men and women who face poverty, disappointment, and loneliness with a quiet daily courage and goodwill.Heidi Jon Schmidt, author ofThe House on Oyster CreekBarry Kitterman has outwritten Sherwood Anderson, leaped past Winesburg to baking, shrouded, razory Ivanhoe, in Californias lower central valley. Its peoplesad, sweet, grotesque, flinteyedyearn and misstep with desperate dignity. Kittermans sentences are stunning as the silence that follows a scream.Bryan Di Salvatore, author ofA Clever BaseBallistDust and fog, Manzanita, redwoods and rabbit farms, the snowcapped peaks of the Sierra, which are occasionally visible on those rare days when the air isnt too filthythese are palpable presences in Kittermans stories. The San Joaquin Valley, especially the town of Ivanhoe, is rendered with the kind of attention that only comes from love. Nobody who knows the Valley will ever question the authors sense of place. Those who dont know the Valley will feel like they do after reading this book. These are sturdy, nononsense, characterdriven stories that make turning the pages a necessity as well as a pleasure. Kittermans book is superb.Steve Yarbrough, author ofSafe from the Neighbors
