Synopsis Impoverished, desperate, down-and-out, and sometimes insane, Bonnie Jo Campbell's characters inhabit a bleak Midwestern world where jobs are hard to come by, guns are easy, and the best cash crop is methamphetamine. Still, the short stories in AMERICAN SALVAGE are filled with an eerie beauty, deep humanity, and surprising humor, as Campbell's characters struggle mightily to come to terms with their overlooked lives.
