Abstract
The Preacher and Other Essays is a collection of essays that follows a family in southwestern West Virginia from the Great Depression to the present. The essays explore the places and objects that become a part of a family’s identity, including a flooded-out farm, train tracks, fish tanks, and an old house saturated with cigarette smoke.
