THE WARS OF HEAVEN

Book Overview
The lives of the working class in West Virginia--a train engineer, an epileptic, coal miners and outlaws, the fragile and dispossessed--are explored in this powerful yet tender collection of six short stories and a novella. They depict an isolated world of hardship, human endurance, and hard-won dignity and are a lyrical rendering of times and places now largely gone--but the stirring clarity of people and landscape can persist in the reader's imagination.

Story telling through poetic writing.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Richard Currey has a unique writing style that reads like poetry, while keeping the element of story telling intact. His stories of West Virginia living are realistic, ugly, and beautiful.
