Q Road by Author Bonnie Jo Campbell
Combining the modern-farm-life realities of Jane Smiley's A Thousand Acres with the quirky humor and eccentric characters of Carolyn Chute's The Beans of Egypt, Maine, Q Road is a charming debut from Bonnie Jo Campbell. Greenland Township, Michigan: On the same acres where farmers once displaced Potawatomi Indians, suburban developers now supplant farmers and prefab homes spring up in last year's cornfields. All along Q Road--or Queer Road, as the locals call it--the old, rural life collides weirdly with the new. With a cast of lovingly rendered eccentrics and a powerful sense of place, Q Road is a lively tale of nature and human desire that alters the landscape of contemporary fiction.Bonnie Jo Campbell is a professor at Pacific University's low-residency MFA program. She lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and is the author of Once Upon a River, American Salvage, and Mothers, Inform Your Daughters.
