&ldquo\;These short stories approach their subjects from an array of perspectives\, but what they share is freshness \, surprise\, and a compulsion to plumb some absolute extremes of American existence.&rdquo\;―National Book Award citation

\n

American S alvage \;is rich with local color and peopled with rural characters wh o love and hate extravagantly. They know how to fix cars and washing machi nes\, how to shoot and clean game\, and how to cook up methamphetamine\, b ut they have not figured out how to prosper in the twenty-first century. T hrough the complex inner lives of working-class characters\, Bonnie Jo Cam pbell illustrates the desperation of post-industrial America\, where wildl ife\, jobs\, and whole ways of life go extinct and the people have no choi ce but to live off what is left behind.
