An instant regional bestseller, Eveningland is Alabama-born Michael Knight's powerful short story cycle whose seven stellar tales illuminate the everyday beauty and heartache of life along the shores of serene, history-haunted Mobile Bay, in the years preceding a devastating hurricane.

Recenzii
Praise for EVENINGLAND:
“Over the last two decades, Michael Knight has quietly become one of his generation's premier short story writers. And he might just be the best writer of novellas in the country. This new collection gives us a handful of new, shorter gems and one long, beautiful piece you'll not be able to forget. With each selection, Knight finds people in crisis--whether it's a cuckolded husband, a down-and-out burglar, or a family preparing for an impending hurricane--and makes that crisis both deeply personal and deeply universal. His literary god-uncles, Fitzgerald and Cheever, would be proud of their nephew and his work. As for the rest of us, how fortunate we are, how truly fortunate, to be able to read his fiction. Michael Knight is an American master.”—Tom Franklin
"There’s something almost holy in the way Michael Knight writes about his native Alabama, emotional honesty and acuteness of vision leavened with genuine reverence for these people and this place. Taken individually these stories are beautifully crafted—often funny, just as often heartbreaking, always surprising. Taken together, they paint a portrait that is on its surface as refined as the regions most wistful vision of itself. Beneath that gracious veneer, however, lurk depths of loss and longing that speak to what it means to be alive no matter where you live. This collection of linked stories is as potent as any novel I have read in a long, long time."—Adam Johnson
