- Summary:
- Breece D'J Pancake cut short a remarkably promising career when he took his own life in 1979 at the age of 26. In 1983 Little, Brown and Company's posthumous publication of this book -- a collection of stories that depict, with astonishing power and grace, the world of Pancake's native rural West Virginia -- electrified the literary world with a force that still resounds across two decades. "The Stories of Breece D'J Pancake" has remained continuously in print, and Back Bay Books takes pride in now making the collection available in this new trade paperback edition.
