Mystery
Nickolas Butler's debut novel, Shotgun Lovesongs, has become
an international bestseller and won numerous accolades,
including France's Prix Page/America, previously won by Chad
Harbach's The Art of Fielding. Now, in Beneath the Bonfire,
he demonstrates his talent for portraying "a place and its
people with such love that you'll find yourself falling for
them, too" (Josh Weil, author of The Great Glass Sea). Young couples gather to participate in an annual "chainsaw
party," cutting down trees for firewood in anticipation of
the winter. A group of men spend a weekend hunting for
mushrooms in the wilderness where they grew up and where
some still find themselves trapped. An aging
environmentalist takes out his frustration and anger on a
singular, unsuspecting target. One woman helps another get
revenge against a man whose crime extends far beyond him to
an entire community. Together, the ten stories in this
dazzling, surprising collection evoke a landscape that will
be instantly recognizable to anyone who has traveled the
back roads and blue highways of America, and they completely
capture the memorable characters who call it home.
