McKean County, Pennsylvania is located in the Allegheny Mountains, three hundred miles north of Pittsburgh, ninety miles south of Buffalo, New York, and twenty-five years behind anywhere else.  Matt Lang grew up there and moved away.  He lives in Chicago now.

 

So begins the title story from this startling debut collection of short-stories. In “Key West”, “Manila, Mindoro, Manila”, and “McKean, County”, Matt Lang is a man a notch or two out of place.  “384 Miles to Omaha” is an unflinching look at the consequences of a father who thinks he has no choice.  “Back to Ur” is the fable of a father who knows he has a choice, but is conflicted about what to choose.  “A Hot Dog Love Story” is, well, a love story.  With a hot dog in it.  

 

Full of equal parts humor and heartbreak, McKean County and Other Stories will keep you off balance even as it pulls you in deeper.
