In Country

"Mason's spare prose, so perfectly suited to her unpretentious characters and setting, gives the book a simplicity that is both deceptive and disarming. She displays an ear perfectly tuned to dialogue, an eye that catches every telling detail and quirky mannerism. Tiny, seemingly insignificant observations and revelations accululate almost unnoticed until something trips them up, turning them into literary grenades explosive with meaning.Mason, Bobbie Ann is the author of 'In Country', published 1986 under ISBN 9780060913502 and ISBN 0060913509.
