In the Heart of the Heart of the Country and other stories
by William H. Gass
First published in 1968, In the Heart of the Heart of the Country established William Gass as one of America’s finest and boldest writers on fiction, and nearly fifty years later, the book still stands as a landmark of contemporary fiction. The two novellas and three short stories it contains are all set in the Midwest, and together they offer a mystical reimagining of America’s heartland, with its punishing extremes of heat and cold, its endless spaces and claustrophobic households, its hidden and baffled desires, its lurking threat of violence.
