The natural successor to Sherwood Andersons Winesburg collection, Caves of the Rust Belt Ohio Stories travels to the Heart of It All, where drowned sailors reminisce over a hot meal, and the rules of the yard sale are law. In his stunning debut, Joe Kapitan captures the modern Midwest in devastating detail, often blurring the lines between reality and the surreal. The depth of each story leaves readers wanting more as they dig into the pages of this remarkable collection. Memories of another America encase families like a Cold War bunker, forcing characters to confront the pasts that haunt their future. A man tries to renovate the exterior of an old mansion, but even in the state where All Things Are Possible, it is impossible to remove the cracks in the foundation and exorcise the ghosts in the basement. A school shares a message of resilience and community, while masking terrifying truths that appear alltoopossible in our current age. Kapitan has created a fantastical representation of the postrecession Midwest, presenting an image of a world where sinkholes dont just swallow the neighborhood, but also unearth hidden hope lying beneath the surface.
