Product Information

In 1995, Chris Holbrook burst onto the southern literary scene with Hell and Ohio: Stories of Southern Appalachia, stories that Robert Morgan described as "elegies for land and lives disappearing under mudslides from strip mines and new trailer parks and highways." Now, with the publication of Upheaval, Holbrook more than answers the promise of that auspicious debut.

""Plain spun and to the point, [Holbrook] shares these stories in a blend that brings together the uncertain future and the very real present of Appalachian life."--Chattanooga Free Press" --, ""The characters in UPHEAVAL, living their lives of "quiet desperation", remind me of Raymond Carver's stories. Chris Holbrook's perfect pitch for the dialect of the southern mountains delineates lonely, isolated people for whom ancestral traditions are dead, the future appears hopeless, and the desolate present, as their mountains are destroyed all around them, feels unbearable. This unique blend of bleak stoicism, sardonic humor, and menacing claustrophobia make this book a masterpiece for me"--Lisa Alther" --, "The stories of Upheaval thrill with the strangeness of the real, the intensity of human connections. They are narratives of upheavals that leave us with new insights and perspectives. In this age of wonderful storytellers, Holbrook is one of our very best." -- Robert Morgan, author of Gap Creek: The Story of a Marriage, ""The work of a master: raw in the situations and emotions that Chris Holbrook presents, visceral and resonant in the characters through which he speaks."--Free Word Magazine" --, "The characters in UPHEAVAL, living their lives of "quiet desperation", remind me of Raymond Carver's stories. Chris Holbrook's perfect pitch for the dialect of the southern mountains delineates lonely, isolated people for whom ancestral traditions are dead, the future appears hopeless, and the desolate present, as their mountains are destroyed all around them, feels unbearable. This unique blend of bleak stoicism, sardonic humor, and menacing claustrophobia make this book a masterpiece for me"--Lisa Alther, "Ever since the release of Chris Holbrook's HELL AND OHIO, many of us have been impatiently awaiting another collection by this master of the short story. UPHEAVAL is well worth the fourteen year wait. There is not one false note in this entire book, where Holbrook explores all the joys and faults and complexities of the place he knows and loves and understands so well. Each sentence is a tight and taunt poem, each story an intimate, perfect epic. Holbrook is one of our best writers, and UPHEAVAL immediately takes its place as one of the essential Appalachian books." -- Silas House, ""I have long considered Chris Holbrook to be the most underrated writer in Appalachia.... These new stories convince me even more that he is in the top tier of not just Appalachian short story writers, but that he is also in the top tier of story writers in the United States." --Ron Rash, author of Serena: A Novel " --, ""Ever since the release of Chris Holbrook's HELL AND OHIO, many of us have been impatiently awaiting another collection by this master of the short story.

This unique blend of bleak stoicism, sardonic humor, and menacing claustrophobia make this book a masterpiece for me -- of both Appalachian fiction and of the short story form. I admire it more than I know how to say." -- Lisa Alther, ""The stories of Upheaval thrill with the strangeness of the real, the intensity of human connections.

In this age of wonderful storytellers, Holbrook is one of our very best." --Robert Morgan, author of Gap Creek: The Story of a Marriage" --, ""Holbrook's imagery is so visceral that you can almost feel the grit of coal dust, the vibrations of enormous earth-moving vehicles, and the oppressive heat of the day."" -- Ben Segedin, Booklist, ""What Edith Wharton called 'the hard considerations of the poor' are at the troubled heart of these excellent stories. Holbrook's Appalachia is neither the sentimentalized Appalachia of Dollywood nor the demonized Appalachia of Deliverance; instead these stories do what the best regional literature has always done -- find in one particular place what is true of all places... Despite his characters' economic status and Eastern Kentucky locale, they are true to all people in their humanity and complexity.... I have long considered Chris Holbrook to be the most underrated writer in Appalachia... These new stories convince me even more that he is in the top tier of not just Appalachian short story writers, but that he is also in the top tier of story writers in the United States."--Ron Rash, author of Saints at the River " --, "The work of a master: raw in the situations and emotions that Chris Holbrook presents, visceral and resonant in the characters through which he speaks." -- Free Word Magazine, ""The stories contain an undercurrent of anger and protest, yet leave the reader with the sense that these strong characters will persevere.

Reading these stories is as though we've hung around the local diner in Hazard, Kentucky, watching and listening to the locals, then followed each of them home with these tales of their lives. Holbrook's style is painfully close and real, its beauty grabs you like the face of a child or an old person.
