From the start, lines like \u201cI was fifteen and getting in trouble for no real reason apart from puberty,\u201d had me trusting Anderson to give it to me straight. But this was more than trust, or feeling I was in such capable hands; this cycle is impeccably well-crafted and unified, with a thumping heart at its center.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ContentPasted0\"><em>These linked stories build on one another, each deepening the portrait of this economically depressed mill town on a river in Maine. As we experience the town\u2014its residents, the paper mill, the river\u2014from the perspectives of several different characters, we are privy to the undercurrents driving each of them, forces seemingly as preordained and irreversible as the current of the river itself. And while some of these lives look bleak\u2014their histories, struggles, disappointments, and defeats\u2014what returns to the surface, again and again, is the notion of resurrection.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ContentPasted0\"><em>Sometimes, even the smell of bread baking lets you know you will survive.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"x_ContentPasted0\">CB Anderson\u2019s work has appeared in <em>The Iowa Review<\/em>, <em>Narrative<\/em>, <em>North American Review<\/em>, <em>Crazyhorse<\/em>, and elsewhere.
