 Praise for Fink’s work

“Fink is not afraid to get the muck of country living into his fiction.”—Jim Higgins, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“The authentic voice of American agricultural labour.”—Giles Foden, author of The Last King of Scotland

“One of the most evocative collections I’ve read on the hard pleasures of small-town rural life and manual labor.”—Jim Shepard, author of You Think That’s Bad and Like You’d Understand, Anyway

Book Description

Farmer’s Almanac cracks open America’s rural core to reveal moments of stark beauty and cruelty—a Midwestern Gothic. An imaginary handbook for rural living, as timeless and essential as its namesake. But this is no American pastoral. Fink’s vision is more Orwell than Rockwell. Farmer’s Almanac reports the news from mythical Odette County, Wisconsin, where the milk prices keep falling, and the forecast is not good.
