Kentuckiana cover

Set in a decidedly postmodern subdivision in Appalachia, Kentuckiana focuses on the lives of the Miles family, an imaginary clan invented by a real-estate developer who is authoring a report on the neighborhoods he has created.

""Deeply literate, darkly funny.""
--Publishers Weekly
|""Kentuckiana is a grand lowlife epic, a touching, sometimes hilarious and oddly delicious wallow.""
--San Diego Union-Tribune
|""This fanciful, sometimes hilarious portrait of working-class life in Kentucky is witty, ironic, and completely engaging. Kentuckiana deserves to be read."" --Review of Contemporary Fiction
