Anthony, a New Jersey-born Kentucky author, moved in 1980 from what he considered the center of the country--Manhattan�s Upper West Side--to Hazard, Kentucky. \"It was a place so isolated and obscure that I at first felt as lost as a missing person. But it was, I discovered, its own country.\" In fiction he began to explore its beauty, its many problems, its strengths and its weaknesses. �Fiction feels and understands: racism is in your face, poverty on your back. News stories can only report.� \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnthony, an English professor for 35 years, is a hybrid-Kentuckian now. His accent might still be North Eastern, but he sees with an insider-outsider�s eye. He regularly contributes essays and poems to local periodicals and anthologies, including a poem and story in Kentucky�s Twelve Days of Christmas. He�s a \"Kentucky Colonel\" (someone once sent his name in), but he�s more Kentucky peasant. He lives in Lexington, Kentucky, with his wife of 36 years, Elise Mandel, also a hybrid Kentuckian. They have three grown children. His previous books include 2 novels, Peril, Kentucky, and Pickering�s Mountain, plus 2 short story collections, Camden Blues, and Bluegrass Funeral. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 212\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 8.5 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 27, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47248548954361,"sku":"9781933964904","price":25.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/UlZhSEU2QnNIbXBRWnM1M3dnOTdldz09.webp?v=1768635482","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/wanted-good-family-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
