Review title: Just another novel featuring disfunctional people
Product review: Having taught major American writers for 30 years, I can't get excited about the present trend toward disfunctional characters. I hope it isn't a lasting sub-genre. I lived in Gordon, the largest town of the county so am familar with the locale and find the setting greatly lacking in verisimilitude, but perhaps my reaction is because my deceased mother's name is used for the town gossip, Flossie Boyles. My mother, Flossie Boyle, of Gordon was not a gossip.I shall read again Mari Sandoz for good literature about Nebraska.
