The Crawford County Sketchbook
by Tom Janikowski
"Readers of Tom Janikowski’s remarkable Crawford County Sketchbook will be reminded of other fictional towns and territories—Winesburg, Ohio, and Yoknapatawpha County, to name just two—but his characters are funnier than Sherwood Anderson’s and less anguished than Faulkner’s. Janikowski has created an original world and brought it to life in a rich, perfectly tuned vernacular."
