Burning Bright by Ron Rash
Out next meeting is Tuesday, May 28. The May selection is Burning Bright, a collection of stories by Ron Rash. Winner of the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award, Burning Bright captures the complexities of Appalachia – a rugged, brutal landscape of exceptional beauty, promise, and suffering that serves as New York Times best-selling author Ron Rash’s muse. Spanning from the Civil War to the present day, Rash’s historical and modern settings are sewn together in a haunting patchwork of suspense and myth, populated by raw and unforgettable characters mined from the landscape. Buring Bright is available to Regional Readers for $9 per copy.
The book group is open to all and new members are always welcome. We encourage suggestions for the 2024 reading list.
