Ebook: Stygo

Winner 1995 American Academy of Arts and Letters Rosenthal Award. Winner 1995 Mountains and Plains Regional Book Award Finalist 1995 PEN/Hemingway Foundation First Fiction Award Stygo is the quintessential western town - a place where people work hard for very little and learn to survive on dreams. Hendrie brings these dreams to life in a haunting series of interlocked stories, including the tale of Tom Go, who suddenly finds his fantasy of moving to Alaska within reach; of Beca, struggling to free her older brother from the grip of their father's expectations; of Frank, who knows that love is a chimera often glimpsed but seldom captured; and of other inhabitants, adults and children alike, who bear witness to love and despair and learn to take what they can from life.
