Reviews
"Mason is a full-fledged master of the short story." --Anne Tyler, aboutShiloh and Other Stories "Count on it...Bobbie Ann Mason is going to be renowned as one of America's finest writers. Clear Springs, her recent memoir, was a deserving Pulitzer finalist, but perhaps she shines most in crafting short stories." --Jeff Guinn, Fort Worth Star-Telegram "Bobbie Ann Mason's genius only grows stronger and wiser and funnier with every new book, andZigzagging Down a Wild Trailis my absolute favorite so far. What an ear she has for the telling phrase, what an eye for the heartbreaking detail. These new stories are stunning." --Josephine Humphreys "I love the way Bobbie Ann Mason writes, the way she brings her people to life in so few words. I've been a fan since Shiloh. --Elmore Leonard "In the dictionary under "story", it should just say, "See Bobbie Ann Mason." I will follow her down any trail she blazes." --Roy Blount, Jr. "No writer in America can match Bobbie Ann Mason at chronicling the dizzying changes in our culture. We find each of her varied and interesting characters zigzagging down the wild and surprising trail of their lives to arrive at a vivid moment of clarity, a moment that pierces the heart. These are stories to savor." --Lee Smith

Synopsis
In this remarkable book, the author ofShiloh and Other Stories,In Country, and other award-winning books gives us powerful new stories that capture the restless energy of life in contemporary America. The characters here are travelers and seekers, feeling their way toward, or away from the defining moments of their lives. They roam out into the world to England, Alaska, Texas, Saudi Arabia, or ricochet back home to Kentucky, ceaselessly searching, exploring, testing for limits. I felt strange, says Chrissy inWith Jazz, as though all my life I had been zigzagging down a wild trail to this particular place. InCharger, a teenage boy races along the interstate, seeking the father who abandoned him years before. InRolling into Atlanta, a young woman searches for the kind of authenticity she remembers from her rural childhood. InProper Gypsies, Nancy deals with the shock of being robbed in London. InThe Funeral Side, Sandra comes home to try to fulfill her responsibilities to her family, but yearns to escape again to Alaska and the northern lights that haunt her. Writing in the spare, precise, beautifully nuanced language for which she is famous, Bobbie Ann Mason expands her art here in dramatic and illuminating fashion. These fascinating stories bring to life surprising individuals whose journeys shine a bright light on life as it is lived by many Americans today.Zigzagging Down a Wild Trailis a beautiful book by one of America's finest writers, a book full of drama, humor, and startling insights into the timeless longings of the human heart.

    EXCELLENT book...VERY WELL packaged. The item arrived disgracefully late, but this is no fault of the seller, who clearly mailed it on he date he claimed. The good old USPS messed this one up. At one point, tracking records said the package had been delivered to a front porch in some godforsaken burg somewhere in Middle Tennessee, hundred of miles from me. Reckon they recovered it and sent it on. Annoying. But not at all the seller's fault. I'd certainly buy here again.
