My Lord Bag of Rice: New and Selected Stories

Carol Bly

The Upper Midwest, with its scattered small towns and bitter winters, is Carol Bly’s source for stories that are, as Tobias Wolff says, as particular in their settings and culture as those of Turgenev and Joyce and Flannery O'Connor, and as far from being simply regional.

My Lord Bag of Rice collects Bly’s best and most recent work, 11 stories fortified with sharp-eyed characters who stand a little apart from their routine, stolid lives, nurturing hardy seeds of self-worth in a mostly mediocre world. Tinged with humor, her stories always portray Midwesterners - and people in general - who manage to cultivate a sense of greatness in their lives.
