Anthony, a New Jersey-born Kentucky author, moved in 1980 from what he considered the center of the country--Manhattan�s Upper West Side--to Hazard, Kentucky. It was a place so isolated and obscure that I at first felt as lost as a missing person. But it was, I discovered, its own country. In fiction he began to explore its beauty, its many problems, its strengths and its weaknesses. �Fiction feels and understands: racism is in your face, poverty on your back. News stories can only report.� \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnthony, an English professor for 35 years, is a hybrid-Kentuckian now. His accent might still be North Eastern, but he sees with an insider-outsider�s eye. He regularly contributes essays and poems to local periodicals and anthologies, including a poem and story in Kentucky�s Twelve Days of Christmas. He�s a Kentucky Colonel (someone once sent his name in), but he�s more Kentucky peasant. He lives in Lexington, Kentucky, with his wife of 36 years, Elise Mandel, also a hybrid Kentuckian. They have three grown children. His previous books include 2 novels, Peril, Kentucky, and Pickering�s Mountain, plus 2 short story collections, Camden Blues, and Bluegrass Funeral. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bottom Dog Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42651384938733,"sku":"9781933964904","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_bae082d1-cbff-41ae-895b-c9f432afca8b.jpg?v=1649219091","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/wanted-good-family-9781933964904","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
