"Attentive, sure-footed, possessed of an engaging voice and best of all, a spirit of generosity, Creston Lea's Wild Punch is an exciting new find for any serious reader of short stories."-- Rick Bass"Creston Lea can write one hell of a story. Wild Punch is a book of wonderful awful scary marvelous stories -- I kept expecting to hit the wall, to be overwhelmed with depression at the intractable fates he chronicles, but somehow, magically, he kept me reading through and out the other side of grim right into stubborn awe. I'm giving copies of Wild Punch to everyone I know."-- Dorothy Allison"Lea is a new voice for the rural North Country in the tradition of Howard Frank Mosher, Russell Banks and Annie Proulx. His prose crackles with insight. He'll make you laugh and he'll make you cry, and if you're that North Country person he'll make you understand yourself a little better."-- Ernest Hebert

Synopsis
Fiction. These debut stories, set in northern New England, portray the revelatory moments of small-timers, clergymen, hotheads, day laborers, motorcycle racers, loggers, horse farmers, and young veterans of the Gulf War. In WILD PUNCH, Creston Lea achieves the rare congruence of language and landscape. Creston Lea's writing is realistic and understated. His style can be compared to writers like Raymond Carver and Tobias Wolff. He is as much a master of local grit as he is of local color. Lea is an author who clearly loves his characters. He understands their contradictions and their stark daily realities, and he writes about them with an authority based on authenticity, generosity, grace, and sharply observed humanity., "Mr. Lea can write one hell of a story . . . wonderful awful scary marvelous stories--I kept expecting to hit the wall, to be overwhelmed with depression at the intractable fates he chronicles, but somehow, magically, he kept me reading through and out the other side of grim right into stubborn awe.
