Product Information

Ann Pancake's 2007 novel "Strange as This Weather Has Been" centered on mountaintop removal and its effects upon a single coal mining family. In "Me and My Daddy Listen to Bob Marley," a follow-up collection of eleven astonishing short stories, Pancake returns to her native West Virginia to tell stories of other traditional people. These are folks living much as they have for three hundred years, tried by poverty and ill health but needing the coal companies' upon which the economy is entirely dependent, even as they witness the air and land and water of this beautiful place being imperiled and destroyed. Ann Pancake's ear for the Appalachian dialect - in both towns and in the countryside -- is both pitch perfect and respectful, that of one who writes from the heart of this world. Her characters are ensnared in the complexities of rural economies where there are no quick fixes to questions surrounding right livelihood even going off to college. With first-hand knowledge of the provincial locale and her exquisite depictions of the intricacies of families, she might well remind you of Alice Munro. In her intimate depiction of the natural history of rural Appalachia, "Me and My Daddy

Reviews
"The most compelling aspect of the book is the way a community''s collective voice seems to permeate each story....Pancake''s stories possess a rough beauty, and also an edge....these stories are worth the wait."-- Orion "Much lauded Seattle-based writer Ann Pancake has a remarkable gift for bringing West Virginia (her childhood home) to life on the page. This new collection of short stories and novellas includes vivid tales of working-class folks living amid the devastation of a type of strip mining known as mountain top removal. She imbues her characters with powerful, poetic voices, and unspools each story--of misfortune, family loyalty, long-held secrets--with a mixture of tension and mystery that unearths many strata of emotion." -- Seattle Magazine "Pancake''s bravura tales carry the pulse of a betrayed yet beautiful place of loyalty and resilience." -- Booklist "Many of these stories by novelist Pancake ( Strange as This Weather Has Been , 2007, etc.) are told from the perspectives of children and adolescents, the better to capture the eeriness of the Appalachian landscape and the folkways of the grown-ups who occupy it.. . . her ear for dialect is well-tuned, and the collection has its comic touches.. . . smartly styled. . . " -- Kirkus ". . . gritty, stylish assembly. . . well-crafted collection." -- Publishers Weekly "These are astonishing stories--tender, alive, full of heart and empathy but never sentimental, full of clenched drama and secrets and surprises but always subtle, full of knotty, poetic language, but also remarkably naturalistic. In her unflinching and lovingly accurate attention to the lives of the working poor, people who have fallen entirely beneath the radar of our literary notice, she occasionally calls to mind the haunting photographs of Walker Evans, but I don''t think there''s anyone else like Ann in American letters. She is a true original, and I urge with all my heart to read these gorgeous stories. Ann Pancake is one of the best we have." --Dan Chaon, author of Stay Awake and Await Your Reply "These are astonishing stories--tender, alive, full of heart and empathy but never sentimental, full of clenched drama and secrets and surprises but always subtle, full of knotty, poetic language, but also remarkably naturalistic. In her unflinching and lovingly accurate attention to the lives of the working poor, people who have fallen entirely beneath the radar of our literary notice, she occasionally calls to mind the haunting photographs of Walker Evans, but I don''t think there''s anyone else like Ann in American letters. She is a true original, and I urge with all my heart to read these gorgeous stories. Ann Pancake is one of the best we have." --Dan Chaon, author of Stay Awake and Await Your Reply "In Me and My Daddy Listen to Bob Marley, Ann Pancake writes her way deep into the marrow of one of America''s wildest and most brutally wounded landscapes, and into the secret lives of its inhabitants, young and old. Her characters'' dreams and misfortunes range from comic misadventure to haunting spiritual quest, and their voices, alive with hope and sorrow, restore lush color and rhythm to our lives. Like a water-dowser in thirsty times, Ann Pancake holds the divining-rod of language in her gifted hands, and reveals a mysterious world we can''t afford to lose." --Marjorie Sandor Praise for Strange As This Weather Has Been : "[P]owerful, sure-footed and haunting..."-- The New York Times "Pancake''s novel is shockingly pure, like holding gold in your hands, or wheat--all the chaff winnowed away." -- Orion Magazine "Lush descriptions of the landscape are matched with a hurtling stream-of-consciousness narration to great effect: one doubts neither the characters'' voices nor their places in a very complex poverty." -- Publishers Weekly, "Much lauded Seattle-based writer Ann Pancake has a remarkable gift for bringing West Virginia (her childhood home) to life on the page.
