American Spirits by Russell BanksMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Book rating: 3.75
Russell Banks is a good storyteller. These are three stories that are located around the same area, a small town in Northern New York state. They are dark, full of troubled people.
Can't say I enjoyed it, and usually with Banks there is a big pay off and here I'm not immediately seeing that. I can tell Banks is making a point about some of these people. Possibly the stories weren't finished, this is published posthumously.
Anyway, just my initial thoughts, perhaps more later.
