Ladette Randolph's stories have the sly, subtle intensity of a
snake gliding through grass. They
sneak up on their characters and the reader alike, invoking humor,
grace, and wisdom before pouncing on us with exhilarating
epiphanies that are as dark and brutal as they are hopeful. — Meghan Daum
No, it's not an overly obvious comment about Nebraska weather. This Is Not
the Tropics
is Ladette Randolph's first collection of stories. With subtlety and grace, she
presents a seldom-seen picture of life on the Plains — the truth, from its
earnestness to its excess, all the back-road drama and hilarity that makes life on the
Plains what it is. Check out this quietly powerful book of stories.
