Barn Stripping and Other Stories    by Andrew J. Olson
Price: $5.99 USD. 32090 words. Published by Knuckledown Press on May 24, 2012. .
In his own quest for William H. Gass's "heart of the heart of the country,” Andrew J. Olson takes readers to rural Minnesota, where children must learn the hard way about their bodies and their own fragility, and yet we recognize it’s their souls that are resilient. It’s a place where young men learn that promises can be reaped from the land, but Mother Nature is brutish in her lack of sympathy.
