HTML:<p><b>Stories of the heartland by the National Book Award finalist and author of <i>The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford</i>.</b><br /> "<i>Nebraska </i>captures a rowdy, changing America. Written with wit and brawny lyricism, in voices ranging from hip to tender, the stories gathered here are as diverse and expansive as the country they celebrate...References to America's heartland abound throughout the book and serve as a central metaphor for what's close to American hearts, what connects us: dreams, myths and possibilities as vast as the Great Plains. Wise and smart-alecky, creaking with legend and crackling with modernisms, these tales are about American obsessions past and present." –<i>The Washington Post Book World</i><br /> "Just as Raymond Carver came to be identified with a Pacific Northwest populated by blue-collar workers, and just as Richard Ford has crafted a Montana full of drifters, so Ron Hansen has carved out his own geographical niche. His <i>Nebraska</i> is a distinctive mix of 19th century settlers and 1980s breadwinners, of sudden storms and life-long yearnings, of lost souls stranded in the middle of nowhere." –<i>USA Today</i><br /> "Beautifully crafted stories... Wickedness, evil, malice is called by name; and for Hansen's people the snake in the garden never fails to appear." —<i>The New York Times</i><br /> "Breathtaking virtuosity...These short narratives are utterly clean and smooth; they click together like a collection of river-washed stones that are each remarkably different yet polished by the same hand."—<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p>.
