The stories in this collection nearly all take place in and around the mountain hollows of West Virginia: a world of cock-fighting, coal-mining, deer-stalking, fox-hunting, truck-driving, prize-fighting, sex, depression, drinking and death.

The stories in this collection nearly all take place in and around the mountain hollows of West Virginia: a world of cock-fighting, coal-mining, deer-stalking, fox-hunting, truck-driving, prize-fighting, sex, depression, drinking and death. They are the work of an uncannily observant chronicler of his region, who brilliantly evokes a whole crowd of doomed and despairing brawlers, murderers, drunkards and demented husbands and wives - desperate people desperately alive.
Raw-boned and fiercely original, Trilobites & Other Stories is the summation of a writer whose career, though brief, burned with an incandescent flame.

凛冽、粗犷又细腻、忧郁，这才是扎根于土地的边缘叙事，让人忍不住一次次咀嚼回味。最吸引我的是平静的行文中潜藏的冷峻暴力，那种既冒犯读者又吸引读者的能量现在貌似不多见了。可惜Pancake过早结束了生命，留下太多谜。
