Written in a seamless, entrancing style, Gainesville follows the twisted branches of a restless family tree in a small Texas town. Originally published in the novella collection, Fondly, this new edition features a foreword by Brian Evenson. "This is a book I first read at a formidable time, in a driftless, listless post-college haze. I've since thought about these characters, this family, consistently in the last ten plus years, recommending Gainesville to anyone I knew who needed a little commiseration. I'm thrilled to bring Gainesville back into print so this family's hapless lineage can live on." - Joshua Bohnsack, publisher
