Description

The middle ground is a place we’ve all crossed, the halfway point between who you are and who you want to be. In Jeff Ewing’s collection of stories, his diversely American characters call it home. From a story of a man living in the shadow of an abandoned missile silo that may hold the answer to a mystery of vanished children, to one of a small-town beauty tentatively courting stardom, Ewing’s sparse, musical prose illuminates lives lived in that space between fear and courage, hope and regret, life and death. Fog remembers, revenge beckons, and loneliness gives birth to fragile beauty—while in the distance the future gleams on a car hood, daring bold hands to seize it.

“In sharp, precise prose, Ewing renders hardscrabble stories that remind equally of Annie Proulx and Denis Johnson. These are Polaroids collected on a shelf, forgotten, and then viewed again to tell of the lives they once lovingly chronicled—now dusty, scratched, lost. The effect is magnificent.”
—Christian Kiefer, author of PHANTOMS
