Something Rich and Strange: Selected Stories

Ron Rash

From the critically acclaimed, award-winning author of Serena and The Cove, thirty-four of his finest short stories, collected in one volume

No one captures the complexities of Appalchia–a rugged, brutal landscape of exquisite beauty–as evocatively and indelibly as author and poet Ron Rash. Winner of the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, two O. Henry prizes, and a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award, Rash brilliantly illuminates the tensions between the traditional and the modern, the old and the new south, tenderness and violence, man and nature. Though his focus is regional, the themes of Rash’s work are universal, striking an emotional chord that resonates deep within each of our lives.

Something Rich and Strange showcases this acclaimed master’s artistry and craftsmanship in thirty-two stories culled from previously published collections and two available for the first time in book form: Outlaws and Shiloh. Each work of short fiction demonstrates Rash’s dazzling ability to evoke the heart and soul of this land and its people–men and women inexorably tethered to the geography that defines and shapes them. Filled with suspense and myth, hope and heartbreak, and told in language that flows like shimmering, liquid poetry (Atlanta Journal-Constitution), Something Rich and Strange is an iconic work from an American literary virtuoso.
