The Dig

By Cynan Jones

Book Overview

Cormac McCarthy meets Marilynne Robinson in this slow-motion collision between a badger-baiter and grieving farmer in rural Wales.

Built of the interlocking fates of a badger-baiter and a farmer struggling through lambing season, The Dig unfolds in a stark rural setting where man, animal, and land are at loggerheads. There is no bucolic pastoral here: this is pure, pared-down rural realism, crackling with compressed energy, from a writer of uncommon gifts.
