Description: Frank Bill is back with a gritty wrenching novel from deep inside the traumas of a broken American heartland. Miles is a Vietnam veteran who's worried he's going to lose his job and with it his tenuous grasp on a stable life over a fight with a coworker. His PTSD and struggles to control his steroid - fueled violent tendencies also complicate his relationship with his girlfriend Shelby a stripper who only occasionally displays the proverbial heart of gold. She's certainly kinder and more generous than her brother Wylie who has been implicated in the deaths of two local Oxy dealers and is currently on the run. When Wylie kidnaps Shelby and holes up in Miles's country lair it all threatens to become a bit too much for Miles. As Frank Bill peels back the layers of Miles's history going deep into his memories of the Vietnam War Back to the Dirt gets to the root of the traumas that have caused Miles and his community so much adversity. In this blistering novel Bill reaches for the core values living close to the land working with your hands that have been obscured by generations of neglect drug abuse and desperation. This is a profound and important story of an America that is only beginning to get its due attention and Frank Bill is its most visceral essential chronicler.
