Presents a collection of fourteen essays by Charles Dodd White - praised by Silas House as ""one of the best prose stylists of Appalachian literature"" – that explore the boundaries of family, loss, masculinity, and place.
This collection of fourteen essays by Charles Dodd White—praised by Silas House as "one of the best prose stylists of Appalachian literature"—explores the boundaries of family, loss, masculinity, and place. Contemplating the suicides of his father, uncle, and son, White meditates on what it means to go on when seemingly everything worth living for is lost. What he discovers is an intimate connection to the natural world, a renewed impulse to understand his troubled family history, and a devotion to following the clues that point to the possibility of a whole life.
Avoiding easy sentiment and cliché, White's transformative language drives toward renewal. A Year without Months introduces lively and memorable characters, as the author draws on a wide range of emotions to analyze everything, including himself.
