From Ron Rash, PEN / Faulkner Award finalist and New York Times
bestselling author of Serena, comes a new collection of unforgettable
stories set in Appalachia that focuses on the lives of those haunted by
violence and tenderness, hope and fear--spanning the Civil War to the
present day.
The darkness of Ron Rash's work contrasts with its unexpected
sensitivity and stark beauty in a manner that could only be accomplished
by this master of the short story form.
Nothing Gold Can Stay includes 14 stories, including Rash's "The
Trusty," which first appeared in The New Yorker.
