Customer Reviews

A marvelous collection

This is an absolutely wonderful collection of stories by some of the country's best current writers. Maya Anglou's troubling story about the difficulty of containing the past and Tim McLaurin's powerful tale of sin and redemption alone are worth the price of admission.

One of the finest anthologies of contemporary writers.

"THE ROUGH ROAD HOME is a stunning collection and a landmark book." --Josephine Humphreys "[A] fine and affectionate anthology." --Will Blythe, literary editor for ESQUIRE "This superlative collection, elegantly and thoughtfully edited by RObert Gingher, shows a wonderful creativity and a wide diversity of voices. THere is real pleasure and excitement here for every reader who cares about contemporary fiction." --George Garrett
