Neace Krause's incredible ear for spoken language is on full display in this
collection of stories spanning many different narrators and lives, some accented
with Appalachia, all conscious of the omnipresent weight of history. Krause's
writing is as instinctive as breathing, whether she is relating criss-crossed
family sagas or snapshots of sun-drenched afternoons. Slipping on other lives
and voices as easily as clothing, The Last Game We Played is an absorbing collection
from a gifted new author.
"A dark and complicated work of literature." —The
Massachusetts Review
"A little classic." —Rachel Calahan, former editor of In
Posse Review,
on "The Whole World Is Watching"
