With settings in Florida, California, Mexico, Chicago, the Texas Panhandle, and, of course, the Ozarks themselves, these thirteen stories portray the unsung, amusing, brutal, forever hopeful lives of ordinary people. Mort chronicles the struggles of \"flyover\" people who live not just in the Midwest, but anywhere you can find a farm, small town, or river winding through forested hills. Mort, whose earlier stories have appeared in the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGQ\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Chicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e, is the author of the award-winning Vietnam War novel \u003ci\u003eSoldier in Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as \u003ci\u003eGoat Boy of the Ozarks\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Illegal\u003c\/i\u003e. These ironic, unflaggingly honest stories will remind the reader of Jim Harrison, Sherwood Anderson, and Shirley Jackson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"John Mort","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43572014743734,"sku":"9780268104054","price":83.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780268104054_5739ccab-2565-4759-b4e8-5150a5d01b84.jpg?v=1738964313","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/down-along-the-piney","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
