Q Road - Paperback
by Bonnie Jo Campbell (Author)
The debut novel from the National Book Award-nominated author of American Salvage and The Waters--A Today Show Read with Jenna Book Club Pick!
Greenland Township, Michigan: On the same acres where farmers once displaced Potawatomi Indians, suburban developers now supplant farmers and prefab homes spring up in last year's cornfields. All along Q Road--or "Queer Road," as the locals call it--the old, rural life collides weirdly with the new. With humor and empathy, Bonnie Jo Campbell reveals the beauty and strangeness of her characters--ferocious women, confused men, and hungry children. Offering keen insights into modern rural America, Campbell explores the rich and ragged landscape of a town where family traditions have flown the coop and only the cycle of the seasons remains. With a cast of lovingly rendered eccentrics and a powerful sense of place, Q Road is a lively tale of nature and human desire that alters the landscape of contemporary fiction.Bonnie Jo Campbell is the bestselling author of six works of fiction, including The Waters, Once Upon a River, and American Salvage, a finalist for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, AWP's Grace Paley Prize for Short Fiction, and a Pushcart Prize, she lives outside Kalamazoo, Michigan, with donkeys.
