Set in the southern Appalachians, R. T. Smith's third collection of stories also inhabits that allegorical realm where the patterns of human travail are dramatized and played out endlessly. Whether incarcerated in penal institutions or imprisoned by their own obsessions and transgressions, the bear hunters, cockfighters, con artists, ginseng diggers and school teachers of these inventive narratives demonstrate that tragedy, comedy and travesty are seldom as distinct as we want to believe.That was Dobya#39;s code. After lunch old Steve and Fro sometimes hum gospel. We get our rhythm and whisde up or mimic Kenny Chesney, who is seriously cool. Then therea#39;s new hits like aquot;I Came for the Partyaquot; we got off Rodeoa#39;s radio.
