When a local rancher drives a truckload of cattle into a local hardware store, killing himself, his wife, and most of the cows, the theories begin to fly in a tale told through a variety of narrative voices. Reprint. 20,000 first printing. "Somewhere between the weight of Faulkner and the ease of Kesey, Kent Meyers brings to American fiction a tenaciously gripping story that moves with the subtle subterfuge of an aging river current. . . . The River Warren is a seductive and dark tale that closes with a welcome sense of light and fulfillment." -- ForeWord Kent Meyers is author of The Witness of Combines , a collection of essays, and the forthcoming The Light in the Crossing , a collection of short stories. An English professor at Black Hills State University, he has received fellowships from the South Dakota Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. He lives in Spearfish, South Dakota.
