About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Grove/Atlantic, Incorporated, 1999. Hard Cover. Fine. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ISBN:0802116418. 1st printing. Lord of the Barn Yard : Killing the Fatted Calf & Arming the Aware in the Corn Belt. This is his debut novel. It is the manic, painfully funny story of a town's dirty laundry and a garbagemen's strike that lets it all hang out. As new jacket except for a couple creases on the upper front corner by the spine. Lord of the Barn Yard begins with the death of a woolly mammoth in the last Ice Age and concludes with a greased-pig chase at a funeral in the modern-day Midwest. In the interim there are two hydroel ectric dam disasters, 14 tavern brawls, one shoot-out in the hills, 3 cases of probable arson, a riot in the town hall, a lone tornado, a coven of Methodist crones, an encampment of Appalachian crop t hieves, 6 renegade coal-truck operators, an outraged mob of factory rats, a dysfunctional poultry plant, and one autodidact goat-roping farm boy. Lord of the Barn Yard is a brilliantly comic tapestr y of a Middle America populated by assembly-line drones and poultry-plant neck-slicers, measuring into shot glasses the fruits of years of quiet desperation on the factory floor. It is a plea for not h in g more than the minimal respect owed to the most forgotten blue-collar workers of the global proletariat, and a word of warning that respect denied can go much farther then postal. Lord of the B a rn Ya rd intrduces a new, uniquely American literary voice who has already won acclaim around the world..
