Read this and, by the same author, both the Voluntary State and the Border State. It was all kind of… eh? Not bad but definitely not my thing. Voluntary State is too surrealist and short, Border State is subdued but meanders (it’s the best book though. Idk protagonists which are twins do it for me). These Prisoning Hills sucked ass at parts, the prose took a nosedive and there’s a bunch of sentences which absolutely needed another pass. Funnily enough here the surrealist parts work but there’s only 3-4 scenes like this, all near the end.
I guess if you’re from Kentucky and/or enjoy professional cycling check out the ones with “State” in the title. (There’s a few short stories included in a collection of the author’s work but I have near zero interest reading them.)
