Backcountry: Contemporary Writing in West Virginia

This is the anthology that I actually helped compile while a senior in college...look closely in the opening pages, you'll see my name!

Anyway, West Virginia has been blessed with a multitude of very talented writers and this book showcases the major players. The quality of the literature is excellent; while working on it, we spent hours digging through texts to find the very best.

Anyone wanting to learn a little more about WV from those that have lived it, this is an excellent way through fiction. I encourage anyone to pick up this book.
