    Hill William by Scott McClanahan

    Scott McClanahan pulls no punches and makes no apologies. He doesn’t ask the reader to like him; he doesn’t placate or pander. He tells his story and, love it or hate it, by the time you’re done reading, you are sure to feel something. In our culture of sensationalism and overstimulation, creating a real, genuine emotion in a reader might just be the most valuable—and difficult—thing a writer can do. There is a heart here, painfully bleeding all over the page.

    Hill William, McClanahan’s new book out from Tyrant Books, could be seen as a companion to last year’s critically acclaimed Crapalachia: A Biography of Place. Again, here is a narrator named Scott who lives in the Southern West Virginia community of Rainelle. There are unmistakable similarities between the narrator and the author, which brings up questions about genre and “truthiness”. Prompting these questions, and others, seems to be McClanahan’s raison d’etre, and makes him a writer who is both exciting and confounding. Just try to categorize him. McClanahan dares the reader to put him snuggly in one camp or another, then laughs when they try.

    John Ernst Steinbeck (STYNE-bek; February 27, 1902 – December 20, 1968) was an American writer. He won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humor and keen social perception".[2] He has been called "a giant of American letters."[3][4]

    During his writing career, he authored 33 books, with one book coauthored alongside Edward Ricketts, including 16 novels, six non-fiction books, and two collections of short stories. He is widely known for the comic novels Tortilla Flat (1935) and Cannery Row (1945), the multigeneration epic East of Eden (1952), and the novellas The Red Pony (1933) and Of Mice and Men (1937). The Pulitzer Prize–winning The Grapes of Wrath (1939)[5] is considered Steinbeck's masterpiece and part of the American literary canon.[6] By the 75th anniversary of its publishing date, it had sold 14 million copies.[7]

    Much of Steinbeck's work employs settings in his native central California, particularly in the Salinas Valley and the California Coast Ranges region. His works freque
