Finalist for this year's 2009 National Publication Award in Fiction; finalist for this year's 2009 National Publication Critics Circle Award in Fiction. These short stories deal with their things from an array of perspectives, but what they promote is freshness, shock, and a compulsion to plumb some total extremes of American lifestyle.?National Publication Award citationNorth american Salvage is rich with local color and peopled with rural character types who love and hate extravagantly. They learn how to fix automobiles and washing machines, how to capture and clean game, and how to prepare up methamphetamine, but they have not determined how to prosper in the twenty-first century. Through the complex interior lives of working-class character types, Bonnie Jo Campbell illustrates the desperation of post-industrial America, where wildlife, jobs, and entire ways of life go extinct and the people have no choice but to live a life off what is left behind.
