Indiana Winter Kindle Edition

by Susan Neville (Author), Dan Wakefield (Introduction) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 2 ratings

"Neville's observations on inner and outer worlds deserve a large readership." —Studies in Short Fiction

"Blending fictional and reportorial technique, Ms. Neville unwinds a tapestry of the Indiana seasons . . . in scene after remarkable scene she succeeds in disturbing and undermining one's calm. . . . moving . . . " —Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times

" . . . shrewedly perceptive studies of the poetics of place . . . Neville pierces the heart of this 'heart of the country,' unloosing disquieting images and poignant scenes that cling to your memory." —Belles Lettres

"If there is darkness in this vision there is also compassion, a lucid and inclusive civility born of remembering how fragile are the houses of our lives." —Arts Indiana

"A collection of essays, works of fiction and blends of those two genres, Indiana Winter is a poetic and disturbing interpretation of phenomena familiar to most of Neville's fellow Hoosiers—so familiar, in fact, that we may not really see them. . . . As a plunge into the blackness and glare of the examined life, Indiana Winter is a testament to courage." —Dan Carpenter, Indianapolis Star

"These stories and essays are filled with great emotion and affection for the people and the land we've come to know as the Hoosier state." —Minneapolis Star Tribune

" . . . a book that is firmly and honestly rooted in region, yet finds in its careful and lyrical examination of Indiana's people and places truths that move the prose pieces away from simple regionalism." —Sycamore Review

A sensitive writer's imaginative essay-stories about spiritual boundaries and values in the state of Indiana and everywhere.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A collection of good stories

    Susan Neville is a very talented writer and I truly wish she could enjoy a much larger audience. This book is a collection of short stories. All of them are good but a couple are truly excellent. I also highly recommend Fabrication by the same author.

    4.0 out of 5 stars As I read I couldn't help but ask myself over & over why I hadn't made a better attempt the first time around
    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2015
    I was assigned to read Indiana Winter in 1995 during the summer leading up to my freshman year of college at Butler University where Susan Neville was (and possibly still is) a professor. Luckily, she wasn't MY professor because not being much of a reader back then, I briefly skimmed a few pages & shoved it into my bookcase where it stayed for probably 10 yrs before I actually sat down & truly read it. As I read I couldn't help but ask myself over & over why I hadn't made a better attempt the first time around. It was actually a good book & humorous too. I especially liked the chapter about "searching" for John Mellancamp. Growing up in Indiana I can honestly say Prof. Neville did a great job of capturing the mood & feel of everyday life here in a way that's entertaining & worth your time to read.
