<br/><br/>The Pedersen kid -- Mrs. Mean -- Icicles -- Order of Insects -- In the heart of the heart of the country. 
<br/><br/> These two novellas and three short stories are all set in the Midwest, and together they offer a mythical reimagining of America’s heartland, with its punishing extremes of heat and cold, its endless spaces and claustrophobic households, its hidden and baffled desires, its lurking threat of violence.
