Barnstorm: Contemporary Wisconsin Fiction
“Anybody who follows the Wisconsin literary scene knows that we're unduly blessed when it comes to the number of quality literary writers within our borders. . . . But it's one thing to be aware of our good fortune and another to hold the evidence in our hands. . . . That [Barnstormis] a strong collection is no surprise. But what is unexpected is how different the stories are from each other, and how most of them refuse to adhere to the common preconception of a ‘Wisconsin short story’. . . . This is a worthy collection of stories by any standard, highly recommended for those who want to tap into the talent living among us.”—The Capital Times, Madison, Wisconsin“Barnstorm joins a growing number of important new books of fiction by Wisconsin authors . . . [that] emphatically reinforces the case that lots of good writing is coming out of Wisconsin right now. . . . [The stories inBarnstorm] are remarkable in their diversity.”—Isthmus
