<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>After an absence of 20 years, Offutt returned to Kentucky to teach at his alma mater, and to become, quietly, a hero of sorts. But as present-day realities collide with memory, Offutt realizes that he is searching for a home that no longer exists.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In his fortieth year, Chris Offutt returns to his alma mater, Morehead State University, the only four-year school in the Kentucky hills.</b> He envisions leading the modest life of a teacher and father. Yet present-day reality collides painfully with memory, leaving Offutt in the midst of an adventure he never imagined: the search for a home that no longer exists. <br> Interwoven with this bittersweet homecoming tale are the wartime stories of Offutt's parents-in-law, Arthur and Irene. An unlikely friendship develops between the eighty-year-old Polish Jew and the forty-year-old Kentucky hillbilly as Arthur and Offutt share comfort in exile, reliving the past at a distance. With masterful prose, Offutt combines these disparate accounts to create <i>No Heroes, </i> a profound meditation on family, home, the Holocaust, and history<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Chicago Tribune</i> Offutt...is a shot of Kentucky bourbon, a writer whose distillations of life are spare and pure and breathtaking.<br><br><i>The Seattle Times</i> Offutt's gift to readers is substantial.<br><br>Janet Maslin <i>The New York Times</i> Captivating...Offutt is a wonderful raconteur, sharp-eyed and self-effacingly funny.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Chris Offutt</b>, author of the critically acclaimed story collections <i>Kentucky Straight</i> and <i>Out of the Woods, </i> the novel <i>The Good Brother, </i> and the memoir <i>The Same River Twice, </i> lives in Iowa City, Io
