Breece D'J Pancake - Trilobites and Other Stories

Written by Breece D'J Pancake. Themes include Fiction, Short Stories (single author).

The stories in this collection nearly all take place in and around the mountain hollows of West Virginia- a world of cock-fighting, coal-mining, deer-stalking, sex, depression, drinking and death.

'It would be easy to allow his one collection of stories to be buried under the landslide of books published every year. But it's worth doing a little excavating to dig it up.

New Yorker

Breece D'j Pancake left behind an astonishing achievement. He was a master of a distinctly American vernacular, which he used to remind us of all the ways that fiction could teach us about ourselves. These stories are absolutely essential reading - Kevin Powers, author of The Yellow Birds
