In the Heart of the Heart of the Country
Considered by many to comprise William H. Gass's greatest writing, this collection of two stories and the lauded novella, "The Pedersen Kid," secured the author his reputation as a master of the English language and is now available to his fans and the uninitiated for the first time in years. The tales contained within are singular down to the sentence level, pulsing with the verbal energy that made Gass famous.
On Being Blue
