I'm intrigued by this list, "Readings from Flyover Country," purporting to cover Midwestern fiction; most of the books are unfamiliar to me (WINESBURG, OHIO being the most prominent exception). Note however that the blog is an advertorial correction: the blog is, but this list is not, so actually no one is paying anyone to write about STONER. so someone is paying for at least this particular coverage of STONER. (Still don't understand the resurgence.)

(This blog is not an advertorial. You can pay me but results are unpredictable.)
