Rhodes\'s long-awaited new novel turns an unblinking eye on an array of eccentric characters and situations.
In his first novel in 30 years, David Rhodes offers a vivid and unforgettable look at how each life affects many..
The former drifter who forever alters the ties that bind a community.
A cantankerous retiree, haunted by childhood memories after discovering a cougar in his haymow.
The lifelong invalid, crippled by conflicting emotions about her sister.
The middle-aged couple who zealously guards their farm from a scheming milk cooperative.
The few hundred souls who inhabit Words, Wisconsin, are an extraordinary cast of characters.
At once intimate and funny, wise and generous, Driftless is an unforgettable story of contemporary life in rural America.
Driftless heralds a triumphant return to the Midwestern landscape Rhodes knows so well, offering a fascinating and entirely unsentimental portrait of a town apparently left behind by the march of time.
In 1976, a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed from the chest down, and unpublished for the subsequent three decades.
When David Rhodes\'s first three novels were published in the mid-seventies, he was acclaimed as one of the best eyes in recent fiction (John Gardner), and compared favorably to Sherwood Anderson.
The setting is Words, Wisconsin, an anonymous town of only a few hundred people, but under its sleepy surface, life rages.
