About the Book

Kevin Canty tells a story based on a real incident that begins with a disastrous fire in an isolated silver-mining town in Idaho in the 1970s. Everyone in town had a friend, lover, brother, or a husband killed in the mine. The Underworld traces the lives of the handful of survivors and their loved ones--a young widow with twin children, a college student trying to make a life for himself in another town, a life-long hard-rock miner--as they struggle to come to terms with the loss. It's a tough, hardworking, hard-drinking town, a town of prostitutes and priests and bar fights, but nobody is tough enough to get through this undamaged. This is a powerful and unforgettable tale about small-town lives and the healing power of love in the midst of suffering.

About the Author :
Kevin Canty is the author of several novels and three short-story collections and has been published in the New Yorker, Esquire, GQ, and the New York Times Magazine. Richard Powers has published thirteen novels. He is a MacArthur Fellow and received the National Book Award. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for The Overstory, and Bewilderment was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.

Review :
"A masterly story of heartbreak and struggle against fate and bad luck while heroic themes of love and forgiveness carry this memorable novel." -- "Library Journal (starred review)" "A timely reminder of the tremendously complicated questions communities in the American West face...These are superbly drawn people in an impeccably told tale." -- "Antonya Nelson, author of Funny Once" "An excellent and terse account...Canty keeps his descriptions to a minimum, depending instead on taut stretches of introspection and screenplay-ready dialogue." -- "New York Times Book Review" "Any reader will empathize with his sometimes flawed, sometimes valiant people, as they wrestle with the perplexities of social class, family, and love." -- "David Gates, author of A Hand Reached Down to Guide Me" "Canty does a fine job of showing how disaster can lacerate a place or people without utterly destroying hope." -- "Kirkus Reviews (starred review)" "Canty has a gift for turning the commonplace into the extraordinary by asking the right questions and allowing the truth to unfold." -- "BookPage" "Canty's real genius lies in his subtly drawn depiction of the emotional and psychological landscape of this 'big incomprehensible thing.'" -- "Seattle Times" "Paul Michael Garcia narrates this fictionalized account of the aftermath of a real-life 1970s underground fire that killed 91 miners. With a sense of detachment, Garcia keeps the emotions close to his chest and the action and observations close to the bone...It's a very American story, and Garcia's reading is as hard, dark, and honest as the mountains that the townsfolk depend on. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award." -- "AudioFile" "Stunning and deeply moving...The voices of these characters are as memorable as their struggle to keep going in the face of tragedy." -- "Publishers Weekly"
