Hoffman. These stories are deeply human, keen to the everyday wonders of romance, family, and work." -- Matt Bell, author of <em>A Tree or a Person or a Wall</em></p><p>"In No Good for Digging, Dustin M. Hoffman blends the blue-collar Midwest with the magical and surreal. Hoffman's collection is at once humorous, poetic, poignant and wistful, and an ardent love letter to the Midwest." -- Anne Valente, author of <em>The Desert Sky Before Us</em></p><p>"These stories are brutal, beautiful, and full of heart. Hoffman feels like a Sherwood Anderson for our time, a writer who not only understands our secret sadnesses and longings but who brings them to the surface with an unwavering sense of compassion." -Seth Fried, author of <em>The Municipalists</em></p><br>
