String too short to be saved

Written by Donald Hall
Published in 1992

A book I would never pick up if it weren't required reading for a course. It is a quick read. A collection of autobiographical stories about rural life in 1940s New England. The prose is not exceptional, nor are the stories. Its main value is as a snapshot of an era, which is exactly how it was used in the course.
