Description
New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash returns again to Appalachia to capture lives haunted by violence and tenderness, hope and fear in unforgettable stories that span the Civil War to the present day.
In the title story of Nothing Gold Can Stay, two drug-addicted friends return to the farm where they worked as boys to steal their boss's unusual but valuable war trophies.
In 'The Trusty', Ron Rash's first story to appear in the New Yorker, a prisoner sent to fetch water for the chain gang tries to sweet talk a farmer's young wife into helping him escape, only to find she is as trapped as he is.
In 'Something Rich and Strange', a diver is called upon to pull a drowned girl's body free from under a falls, but finds her eerily at peace below the surface.
The violence of Rash's characters and their raw settings are matched only by their unexpected tenderness and stark beauty, a masterful combination that has earned Rash an avalanche of praise.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Nothing Gold Can Stay by Ron Rash receives praise for its profound emotional depth and the quiet power of its more subtle stories, particularly highlighted in pieces like The Magic Bus. Critics commend Rash's ability to craft universally resonant tales with poetic precision and clarity. His work is compared to literary giants such as William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor, known for intertwining myth and realism in a dark yet beautifully written prose style.
