02.12: Me and My Daddy Listen to Bob Marley: Novellas and Stories

2015-01-16 00:05:23| Powells Books Events Calendar

Ann Pancake's 2007 novel Strange as This Weather Has Been exposed the devastating fallout of mountaintop removal mining on a single West Virginia family. In Me and My Daddy Listen to Bob Marley (Counterpoint), a follow-up collection of 11 astonishing novellas and short stories, Pancake again features characters who are intensely connected to their land and who experience brokenness and loss, redemption and revelation, often through their relationships to places under siege. Retired strip miners find themselves victimized by the industry that supported them; a family breaks down along generation lines over a fracking lease; children transcend addict parents and adult suicide. Me and My Daddy Listen to Bob Marley explores poverty, class, environmental breakdown, and social collapse while also affirming the world's sacredness.
