Plainsong
3 journalers for this copy...
Mr. Haruf is an extraordinary storyteller as he interweaves the threads of the average into a plain, yet beautiful reality. Plainsong is quintessential Americana without the sense of false rhetoric that encumbers so many novels in this genre. The novel’s multiple protagonists are painfully honest characters who embody life truths and complexities without melodrama. The interaction of the novels characters testify to a greater sense of connectedness with those around us, no matter where we may live. Haruf lays bare many graphic details without sensationalism in order to produce one of modern fiction’s most sincere depictions of everyday life.

Read other Kent Haruf novels. But finally made it to Plainsong. A beautifully written novel in which he masterfully uses the most simplistic language to tell this story. Will now have the next follow-up Plainsong novels on my reading list.
Wonderful book so well written it was as if you were part of their lives and community
