talk’em KNOCKEMSTIFF
Donald Ray Pollock has made one of the most auspicious literary debuts of the year. Pollock’s short story collection, KNOCKEMSTIFF (Doubleday) is set in the southern Ohio holler where Pollock grew up, the quaint community of Knockemstiff.
Pollock’s stories are brutally frank, indescribably dark, and strangely uplifting. They are a lot like the writer himself; honest, unassuming, charming.
I spoke to Don recently. Our conversation aired on WYSO Public Radio in Yellow Springs. If you missed it you can still listen by clicking here.
