All Aunt Hagar's Children

Pulitzer Prize winning author Edward Jones (The Known World) has a new collection of short stories out, All Aunt Hagar's Children.

The Miami Herald says "Powerfully, unsentimentally, he (Jones)writes of families falling apart and coming together, of ordinary and extraordinary people, of bad neighbors, worse luck and miracles. Throughout flows the inevitable pain of reconciling a rural past with an urban future and the lingering weight of shackles with the heady freedom of making choices that suddenly may turn sour."
