"These stories will last," said Raymond Carver of Shiloh and Other Stories when it was first published, and almost two decades later this stunning fiction debut and winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award has become a modern American classic.

In Shiloh, Bobbie Ann Mason introduces us to her western Kentucky people and the lives they forge for themselves amid the ups and downs of contemporary American life, and she poignantly captures the growing pains of the New South in the lives of her characters as they come to terms with feminism, R-rated movies, and video games.

Bobbie Ann Mason is the author of a number of books, including the short-story collection Zigzagging Down a Wild Trail, the novel In Country, and a memoir, Clear Springs, which was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. She lives in Kentucky.
