Fiction
Welcome to Little Wing. It’s a place like hundreds of others, nothing special,
really. But for four friends—all born and raised in this
small Wisconsin town—it is home. And now they are men,
coming into their own or struggling to do so. One of them never left, still working the family farm that
has been tilled for generations. But others felt the need to
move on, with varying degrees of success. One trades
commodities, another took to the rodeo circuit, and one of
them even hit it big as a rock star. And then there’s Beth,
a woman who has meant something special in each of their lives. Now all four are brought together for a wedding. Little Wing
seems even smaller than before. While lifelong bonds are
still strong, there are stresses—among the friends, between
husbands and wives. There will be heartbreak, but there will
also be hope, healing, even heroism as these memorable
people learn the true meaning of adult friendship and love. Seldom has the American heartland been so richly and
accurately portrayed. Though the town may have changed, the
one thing that hasn’t is the beauty of the Wisconsin
farmland, the lure of which, in Nickolas Butler’s hands,
emerges as a vibrant character in the story. Shotgun
Lovesongs is that rare work of fiction that evokes a
specific time and place yet movingly describes the universal
human condition. It is, in short, a truly remarkable book—a
novel that once read will never be forgotten.
