Red Wing: Stories

Praise for Rustin Larson’s Red Wing: The stories are beautiful. I think you’ve made your mark as a writer of the Iowa landscape, particularly in winter, and small town life. These stories heavily affected by place are so memorable and poignant, plus often funny too. --Suzanne Rhodenbaugh I’m enjoying the stories. I especially have liked ＂Pearl Harbor,＂ ＂The Incomplete History of The Village of Orilla,＂ ＂Lola,＂ and ＂Road Trip.＂ I love the sense of place throughout the collection. Can really feel the landscape. The evoking with sensual images is also strong, as well as the use of dialogue. --Michael Carrino ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thanks to the following journals which originally published some of these stories: Wapsipinicon Almanac: ＂Red Wing,＂ ＂Lola,＂ ＂The Third King,＂ ＂Jules＂ Delmarva Review: ＂Einstein＂ Tower Journal: ＂God, Snow, and the Reverend Huhok＂ The Iowa Source: ＂Pizza Buffet,＂ ＂Five Stories,＂ ＂Yellow Impala,＂ ＂The Incomplete History of the Village of Orilla＂ ＂The Incomplete History of the Village of Orilla＂ also appeared in the short story collection Mental.
