Country People, by Daniel Mason
Daniel Mason’s critically acclaimed and inventive 2023 novel, North Woods, was set in rural Western Massachusetts. In his new quirky and highly creative novel, Country People, we land firmly in Vermont. An academic couple has moved from California for the wife to take a visiting professor gig at a small Southern Vermont college. She is a renowned Milton scholar; her husband Miles is virtually unemployable after working on his dissertation for over a decade, and getting nowhere. More information here.
