With a distinctive and original voice, Mark Richard's stories capture characters on the fringe of society, and illuminate the goodness at the heart of their Southern, down-and-out lies. Full of startling images and harrowing epiphanies, The Ice at the Bottom of the World is a collection by a true master of his craft. In these ten stories, Mark Richard, winner of the 1990 PEN/Ernest Hemingway Foundation Award, emerges as the heir apparent to Mark Twain, Flannery O'Connor, and William Faulkner.

Or, um, of writing one of these! But to sound less self-absorbed, here are 2 of my favorite "ancient," forgotten books that the world would love now: GANADO RED by Susan Lowell and THE ICE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WORLD by Mark Richard, both collections of short stories. https://t.co/Q4xBys6YnS
