this is a beautiful, spare short novel about memory, grief, violence, and wanting what you can't have set in 1920s rural illinois. when he wasn't busy writing awesome things, maxwell was the fiction editor at the new yorker for 30+ years too, and, according to the people that wrote about him in the other maxwell book i put up here--a william maxwell portrait--he was a singularly cool, open-hearted guy. both books are great.
