In Chris Fink s debut work of fiction, America s rural core is cracked open to reveal moments of stark beauty and cruelty. "Farmer s Almanac" a new Midwestern Gothic is an imaginary handbook for rural living, as timeless and essential as its namesake. But this is no American pastoral. Fink s vision is more Orwell than Rockwell. Not since "Winesburg, Ohio" has a book so thoroughly plumbed the Midwestern character. A despairing farmer milks a dead cow, a baseball phenom chooses between the diamond and the dairy barn, and in the back of the school bus, a young girl fights back against her tormentors. "Farmer s Almanac" reports the news from mythical Odette County, Wisconsin, where the milk prices keep falling, and the forecast is not good."
