The Devil All the Tim e\, his first novel\, was published in 2011. His work has appeared in vari ous literary journals\, including Epoch\, Sou’wester\, Granta\, Third Coas t\, River Styx\, The Journal\, Boulevard\, Tin House\, and PEN America. Hi s newest book\, a novel called The Heavenly Table\, was published by Doubl eday in July\, 2016. The stories in Knockemstiff feature a cast of charact ers who are woebegone\, baffled\, and depraved—but irresistibly\, undeniab ly real. Rendered in the American vernacular with vivid imagery and a wry\ , dark sense of humor\, these thwarted and sometimes violent lives jump of f the page at the reader with inexorable force. . . . Donald Ray Pollock p resents his characters and the sordid goings-on with a stern intelligence and a bracing absence of value judgments. . . . Knockemstiff is a genuine entry into the literature of place.ā€Øā€œA wild\, rollicking and wonderfully v ulgar novel\, but the people of ā€˜The Heavenly Table’ sure are hungry. All isĀ not easy\, least of all for the famished\, and it is distinctly refresh ing to read contemporary American fiction that concerns itself with such a fundamental problem of existence.ā€ ~ The New York Times\, Alexander Maksi kĀ Sponsored by the Creative Writing Program and the WSU English department .
