About the book
Rash returns to short fiction with 13 snapshots of contemporary Appalachia. There are double-wide trailers, aging cars and lost souls “resigned to bad times and trouble,” but there’s also, in “Honesty,” a lit professor struggling to get out from under his rich, cynical wife. In the title story, a chemistry teacher prescribed Elavil and shock treatments for a “chemical imbalance” seeks emotional ballast in the backwoods evangelical religion of his youth.
