How Frugal Is the Chariot

Alternative Working Title:

God of the Sweet Ferns

This is a literary novel that I have just revised. It spans the 1940s to the 1990s, with scenes from Russia (during and after Stalin) a Pennsylvania coal town, the American mid-West, and the Mississippi Delta.

A lengthy excerpt, titled "On to the Great River Road," appeared as a stand-alone story in The Arkansas Review, a scene in Russia was originally an article I had published in Friends Journal, and an excerpt set in Pennsylvania in the 1920s has recently been published in Appalachian Studies: Stories from the Highlands.
