Milward s Juniper Prize winning collection, The Agriculture Hall of Fame, is an excellent debut from a Midwest writer to watch.All of the stories in this collection take place in Kansas, and among the many great things this collection does, it also shines a powerful literary light on Kansas as a valuable and fertile place in fiction For a complete review, see my blog thestoryisthecure
the realness and palpability of the characters in this collection are what drew me in the cure for cancer is particularly heartbreaking and just so spot on it s narrated by a man in his late 20s dealing with his older sister s cancer milward beautifully imbues the sadness of death with humor if you pick this up for that story alone, you won t regret it.
A great collection of short stories about Kansas.
A couple of the stories in the collection caught my interest, but for the most part not a compelling set.
Andrew Malan Milward does a disservice to his own strong prose by being such a downer He tries to use his fatalism to set his writing apart, but it ends up being repetitive and sadly predictable.
