About this product
Product Information
Author of the widely acclaimed novel Vinegar Hill , A. Manette Ansay returns to the fictional town of Holly's Field, Wisconsin, and the midwestern landscape that surrounds it in her first full-length story collection, Read This and Tell Me What It Says . Here are the lives of rural people struggling to make sense of the isolated and often intensely religious worlds in which they live. Marie, a young wife and mother, recalls the effects of a statutory rape trial on her small community. Stuart, a devout teenage boy, dares to rename himself Start, the only significant thing he has ever done without first consulting God. Widowed Eliza discovers her husband's ghost in the bathroom, flipping through pages of the Popular Mechanics magazines she had thrown out after his death. With grace and compassion, Ansay reveals the extraordinary interior lives of ordinary people. The result is a rare glimpse into the complex human equation of spiritual loneliness, desire, and hope.

Reviews
"It is wonderful in this day and age to find a writer as gifted as Ansay so entirely in touch with a real place. In Ansay's case, it's Holly's Field, Wisconsin, the gritty, rural setting of her acclaimed first novel, Vinegar Hill, and now of her brilliant new collection of short stories, Read This and Tell Me What It Says. Holly's Field is a place no reader will soon forget, where ordinary, completely believable Midwestern people, drawn with great compassion and originality, experience the most extraordinary revelations. This is first-rate fiction from one of America's finest young writers."--Howard Frank Mosher "Ansay's voice adapts itself to a range of viewpoints--events seen through the eyes of children, of old women, of abandoned wives--each vision authentic and rewarding. At the center of the collection is this society's commonplace: the broken family. But each family is, like Tolstoy's Karenins, unhappy in its own way, and each of their stories shows us a different face of disruption. This is a winning collection worthy of its prize."--Robley Wilson "These stories, painful and beautiful, are like lost memories brought to light. Ansay's language is entrancing, illuminating, searching."--Kelly Cherry, "It is wonderful in this day and age to find a writer as gifted as Ansay so entirely in touch with a real place.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
