Description
Book SynopsisIncludes stories like "The Snake" and "The Quick and the Dead" as well as the previously unpublished "Anniversary," which stirred a national controversy when it was censored by the University of Nebraska and barred from appearing in Prairie Schooner.
Trade Review“Although there is not a single ghoul or specter to be found in the fiction of Ervin Krause, these sad, troubling stories will haunt you. He anatomized every part of us: our wicked wishes, our shameful fears, and our tragic desires.”—Owen King, author of Double Feature: A Novel
“Krause is a brilliant and important writer without a book. His death at an early age cut short what surely would have been an important literary career. . . .
You Will Never See Any God is both an act of rescue and a critical consideration of a body of work.”—Hilda Raz, author of
What Happens and former editor of
Prairie Schooner"Krause's portrayal of the matter-of-fact cruelty and hopeful fragility of humanity is a critical addition to the canon of 20th-century American literature."—
