This haunting debut novel invites us to explore the boundaries between beliefs, desires, obsessions, and madness. Karen Salyer McElmurray's story is set in Mining Hollow, Kentucky, where we meet Ruth Blue Wallen; her husband, Earl; and their son, Andrew. Ruth longs to know God, the only escape she can find in a world that has shown her spiritual, emotional, and sensual defeat. Earl yearns for the music-making of his past, now lost as he makes a living as a coal miner. Andrew desires the affection of a boyhood friend, an expression of love considered sinful in rural Kentucky. And with the divinely inspired yet tormenting help of his mother, in a world of deeply and tragically conflicting desires, Andrew must choose to live or die--he must choose an uncertain love or nothing at all.

The first book of its kind, Doubly Erased is a comprehensive study of the rich tradition of LGBTQ themes and characters in Appalachian novels, memoirs, poetry, drama, and film. Appalachia has long been seen as homogenous and tradition-bound. Allison E. Carey helps to remedy this misunderstanding, arguing that it has led to LGBTQ Appalachian authors being doubly erased—routinely overlooked both within United States literature because they are Appalachian and within the Appalachian literary tradition because they are queer. In exploring motifs of visibility, silence, storytelling, home, food, and more, Carey brings the full significance and range of LGBTQ Appalachian literature into relief. Dorothy Allison's Bastard Out of Carolina and Alison Bechdel's Fun Home are considered alongside works by Maggie Anderson, doris davenport, Jeff Mann, Lisa Alther, Julia Watts, Fenton Johnson, and Silas House, as well as filmmaker Beth Stephens. While primarily focused on 1976 to 2020, Doubly Erased also looks back to the region's literary "elders," thoughtfully mapping the place of sexuality in the lives and works of George Scarbrough, Byron Herbert Reece, and James Still.

“A comprehensive and unsurpassed anthology of women writers from Appalachia . . . Exceptional in diversity and scope.” —Southern Historian Listen Here: Women Writing in Appalachia is a landmark anthology that brings together the work of 105 Appalachian women writers, including Dorothy Allison, Harriette Simpson Arnow, Annie Dillard, Nikki Giovanni, Denise Giardina, Barbara Kingsolver, Jayne Anne Phillips, Janice Holt Giles, George Ella Lyon, Sharyn McCrumb, and Lee Smith. Editors Sandra L. Ballard and Patricia L. Hudson offer a diverse sampling of time periods and genres, established authors and emerging voices. From regional favorites to national bestsellers, this unprecedented gathering of Appalachian voices displays the remarkable talent of the region’s women writers who’ve made their mark at home and across the globe. “A giant step forward in Appalachian studies for both students and scholars of the region and the general reader . . . Nothing less than a groundbreaking and landmark addition to the national treasury of American literature.” —Bloomsbury Review “A remarkable accomplishment, bringing together the work of 105 female Appalachian writers saying what they want to, and saying it in impressive bodies of literature.” —Lexington Herald-Leader “One of the keenest pleasures in Listen Here lies in its diversity of voices and genres.” —Material Culture “Besides introducing readers to many new voices, the anthology provides a strong counterpart to the stereotype of hillbillies that have cursed the region.” —Atlanta Journal-Constitution “Full of welcome surprises to those new to this regional literature: specifically, it includes particularly strong selections from children’s fiction and a substantial number of African American writers.” —Choice

"Indian Summer is the newest collection of personal essays by Sam Pickering. In typical Pickering fashion, he seeks to capture the gift of living. He brings to the page again his family, students, and a wealth of country characters who live in places that exist only in his imagination and who wander through the stories he tells." "He describes how his life has been altered by his children leaving home for college, and he ponders the changes aging brings and the things that never change. The consummate teacher, he celebrates academic life and the pleasures of the classroom. Readers will roam familiar ground with Pickering as he explores the fields and small hills of eastern Connecticut and the bogs and woods on his farm in Nova Scotia." --Book Jacket.

D. H. Lawrence's "Kangaroo" stands as a pivotal exploration of the psychological and sociopolitical landscape of Australia during the early 20th century. The novel intertwines elements of modernist narrative with vivid prose, presenting the inner lives of its characters against the backdrop of tumultuous social change. Through the lens of an English expatriate, the story delves into themes of nationality and identity, juxtaposing the protagonist'Äôs existential struggles with a society grappling for meaning amidst the upheaval of war and industrialization. Lawrence's innovative structure and rich characterization exemplify his bold literary style, capturing a moment of crisis marked by uncertainty and search for belonging. D. H. Lawrence, one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century, was profoundly influenced by his own experiences of displacement and cultural confrontation. Born in England and traveling extensively, he sought to confront the conventions of society through his works. "Kangaroo" reflects Lawrence'Äôs profound engagement with the complexities of human relationships and an intrinsic desire to understand the essence of life beyond the physical realm. His time in Australia during the 1920s further informed his insights into the clash of civilizations and the search for identity in a post-colonial context. I highly recommend "Kangaroo" for readers interested in a profound narrative that interrogates the nature of existence and cultural identity. This compelling novel not only provides a window into Lawrence's innovative storytelling but also prompts readers to reflect on broader philosophical questions that continue to resonate today. It is a must-read for those seeking an engaging exploration of human experience against the backdrop of historical change.

D. H. Lawrence's "The Collected Works" presents a comprehensive assemblage of his literary mastery, showcasing novels, poems, essays, and plays that delve into the complexities of human relationships, sexuality, and the interplay between the individual and society. Lawrence's distinctive style, characterized by vivid imagery and a profound psychological insight, captures the essence of early 20th-century literature, reflecting his discontent with industrialization and his quest for spiritual and emotional authenticity. This anthology not only highlights Lawrence's innovative narrative techniques but also situates his work within the broader context of modernist literature, offering readers a deep exploration of existential themes amidst the shifting cultural landscape of his time. D. H. Lawrence, born in 1885 in the industrial town of Eastwood, England, was profoundly influenced by his childhood experiences in a coal-mining community, which shaped his critical view of industrial society and its disconnection from nature. A significant figure in modernist literature, Lawrence's exploration of emotional depth and the human psyche can be traced back to his own tumultuous relationships and his fervent desire to express the individual's struggle against societal constraints. His experiences in diverse locations, including Italy and the American Southwest, further enriched his worldview and narrative voice, lending authenticity to his explorations of intimacy and spirituality. For readers seeking an in-depth understanding of early modernist themes and the human condition, "The Collected Works" is an invaluable resource. This anthology serves as a testament to Lawrence's innovative spirit and his unflinching examination of the inner turmoil faced by individuals in a rapidly changing world. Engaging and thought-provoking, this collection is essential for both literary scholars and general readers alike, ensuring that Lawrence's legacy continues to resonate through the ages.
