Red Wing

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.
