A Piece of the Country and Other Stories

Robert Allan Richardson

4.9/5 (23157 ratings)

Description:Although varied in setting and circumstance, the four stories in this collection share a central aspect. A moment of recognition, transition, or transformation occurs in each of them and alters its characters’ lives. Whether this change is for better or for worse, things are different ever after. In his review for the Santa Fe New Mexican of the collection in which the story "A Piece of the Country" first appeared, Rob DeWalt said of it:"Robert Allan Richardson is well-versed in the ways and language of rural America and he uses them to memorable effect. His tales, set in the mid-and late-20th century, combine the joys and hardships of farm life, the politics of the day, and the advancement of agricultural technology. He captures the Iowa landscape with strong sensual descriptions while exploring parent-child bonds from multiple emotional angles. Through his characters, the author lays bare various struggles, conflicts. desires and reconciliations that occur within all families and romantic relationships, using the beauty of the natural world as his stage." The earliest of these stories, “How It Happened,” was published in 1975; the two most recent ones, “Remembering Victoria,” and “A Piece of the Country,” appeared in 2006 and 2010. “The Defense” is printed here for the first time.
