5.0 out of 5 stars
Not so ordinary

This first volume in the U of Nebraska's Flyover Fiction does not deserve to be over looked. Averill's stories are on a par with Kent Haruf, Louise Erdrich, Ron Hansen (the editor of Flyover Fiction) and other contemporary Great Plains writers. Like the onion on the cover and the title of one of the stories inside, these stories peel away layer on layer until the reader reaches the epiphany--often that of a young boy--who learns that people are essentially good. No heroics or tragedies here: just great stories about people getting on with their lives in ways that leave the reader stunned with the significance of the "ordinary" geniuses around them.
