DEEP GAP

Author: Ron Rash
Genre: Short Story, Collection
Published: Chemistry and Other Stories, 2007
Personal Rating: 4/5
(ss) Yearly Count: 6



Deep Gap is a look into a father's love for his wayward son.

As usual, this is another compelling Southern story.  The setting, the emotions, the pictures in my mind were clear as a bell.  And, to top it off - there was suspense!

  2. I've never read anything by Ron Rash, but I do have his new novel, Serena, checked out from the library. I hope I like it!

    I love short story collections, so if I do like the novel I may need to pick this up!

  3. Trish ~ Yes, I have thoroughly enjoyed this collection. I believe there are 13 short stories and I have 2 more to go. I have loved reading it piecemeal.

    Cassie ~ I have Serena, patiently waiting on my TBR shelf, along with another one of his books. Here are my thoughts on One Foot in Eden. I've been, temporarily, able to get my Ron Rash/Southern reading fix by reading his short stories. :)

  6. Dar ~ Unfortunately, I only have 2 more to go. Fortunately, I have other work by him waiting in the wings.

    Bookfool ~ LOL short story = short thoughts :)

  7. Thanks for steering me to your review of James Swain's first Jack Carpenter book. It makes me want to read it all the more. I'll be going to the library on Monday and I'm hoping they have it.

    Nice blog you have here!
