Half An Inch Of Water: Stories
by Percival Everett
Buy on AmazonThese stories aren’t filled with stylistic somersaults and authorial acrobatics. They are plain in the best sense, an exemplar of high-plains stoicism. Though the stories share locations and characters, there’s no overarching narrative. The stories unfold in dry Wyoming and Colorado, where things aren’t good or bad, they just are: ominous and evocative and marvelous and difficult and amusing and bizarre.
