520    "In this first book-length study of Ron Rash's fiction and
       poetry, John Lang explores the nature and scope of Rash's 
       achievements, introducing readers to the major themes and 
       stylistic features of his work as well as the literary and
       cultural influences that shaped it. After a brief survey 
       of Rash's life and career, Lang traces Rash's development 
       through his fourteen books of poetry and fiction published
       through 2013. Beginning with Rash's first three 
       collections of short fiction, Lang analyzes the author's 
       literary style and techniques as well as Rash's richly 
       detailed settings and characters drawn from the mountain 
       South, primarily western North Carolina and upstate South 
       Carolina. Then, in an assessment of Rash's four volumes of
       poetry, Lang investigates their thematic and linguistic 
       grounding in Appalachia and emphasizes their universal 
       appeal, lyrical grace, and narrative efficiency. Moving to
       the early novels One Foot in Eden, Saints at the River, 
       and The World Made Straight, Lang traces Rash's evolving 
       narrative skills, intricate plotting, and the means by 
       which he creates historical and philosophical resonance. 
       Then Lang examines how vivid characters, striking use of 
       dramatic techniques, and wide range of allusions combine 
       in Rash's best-known book, which is also his most 
       accomplished novel to date, Serena. After a study of 
       Rash's most recent novel, The Cove, Lang returns to Rash's
       latest work in short fiction: his Frank O'Connor Award-
       winning Burning Bright and Nothing Gold Can Stay, both of 
       which demonstrate his wide-ranging subject matter and 
       characters as well as his incisive portraits of both 
       contemporary Appalachian life and the region's history. An
       extensive bibliography of primary and secondary materials 
       by and about Rash concludes the book."--|cProvided by
