Klappentext "These short stories approach their subjects from an array of perspectives, but what they share is freshness, surprise, and a compulsion to plumb some absolute extremes of American existence."-National Book Award citation Zusammenfassung New from award-winning Michigan writer Bonnie Jo Campbell! American Salvage is rich with local colour and peopled with rural characters who love and hate extravagantly. They know how to fix cars and washing machines! how to shoot and clean game! and how to cook up methamphetamine! but they have not figured out how to prosper in the twenty-first century.
