Schietto, brutale, ma intriso di profonda simpatia, Knockemstiff è una raccolta di storie cupe e spassose ambientate in una piccola città nel sud dell'Ohio. I giovani di Knockemstiff crescono nell'ombra maligna dei loro genitori; cresciuti con abusi, alcol, droghe e sigarette, sono stentati in ogni modo possibile: emotivamente, mentalmente, a volte fisicamente. Parlano molto di fuga ma non oltrepassano mai il confine della contea.

After quitting school at seventeen, Donald Ray Pollock worked at Mead Paper Mill and as a truck driver in Chillicothe, Ohio. After thirty-two years employed as a labourer he enrolled at Ohio State University to study creative writing.
He is the author of two acclaimed books, the cult-classic short-story collection Knockemstiff, which went on to win the PEN/Robert Bingham Fellowship, and the novel The Devil All The Time.

Blunt, brutal, but infused with a deep sympathy, Knockemstiff is a pitch-dark and hilarious collection of stories set in a tiny town in Southern Ohio.
The youth of Knockemstiff grow up in the malignant shadow of their parents; raised on abuse, alcohol, drugs and cigarettes, they are stunted in every possible way: emotionally, mentally, sometimes physically. They talk a lot about escape but they never so much as cross the county line.
