Bobby's Picks
Since helping bring a World Series Championship to the Chicago Cubs, Bobby has settled in to head up the shipping and receiving department for the store. When he's not slinging boxes, he's a graphic designer, photographer, and writer. Vonnegut, Rebecca Solnit, George Saunders and Haruki Murakami are some of his favorite reads, but he also delves into current events, natural history, religion, and science. To him, bookstores are essential for building community, learning and sharing ideas, and providing a comfortable place to hang out.

In a time where misconceptions and downright misinformed opinions continue to perpetuate a narrative of Appalachia sorely lacking in any real insight, it is refreshing to engage a collection such as “Mountains Piled Upon Mountains.”
Editor Jessica Cory has assembled works from contemporary writers that reflect the intricacies of the relationship between the land and its people in this era of human influence on the environment. She employs place-based fiction, poems, and literary nonfiction from the likes of Ann Pancake, Taylor Brown, Kathryn Stripling Byer, Thomas Rain Crowe, and Wayne Caldwell, among many others in and of Appalachia. The way in which Cory has arranged the pieces into seven sections (Contemplate, Recount, Destroy, Preserve, Protect, Evolve, and Celebrate) gives each piece context and connects the reader to the writer and the environment.
