Description

 							Against the Country is a gift for fans of Southern Gothic and metafiction alike. Set in the Virginia pines, and
overrun with failed parents, racist sex offenders, cast-off priests, and suicidal chickens, this novel challenges
literary convention even as it attacks our national myth—that the rural naturally engenders good, while the urban
breeds an inevitable sin. In a voice both perfectly American and utterly new, Ben Metcalf introduces the reader to
Goochland County, Virginia—a land of stubborn soil, voracious insects, lackluster farms, and horrifying
trees—and details one family’s pitiful struggle to survive there. Eventually it becomes clear that
Goochland is not merely the author’s setting; it is a growing, throbbing menace that warps and scars every one of
his characters’ lives. Equal parts fiery criticism and icy farce, Against the Country is the most hilarious
sermon one is likely to hear on the subject of our native soil, and the starkest celebration of the language our land
produced. The result is a literary tour de force that raises the question: Was there ever a narrator, in all our
literature, so precise, so far-reaching, so eloquently misanthropic, as the one encountered here?Praise for Against the
Country “Iconoclastic . . . Against the Country has obvious affinities to Southern Gothic, both in its voice and
in the delight it takes in rural ignorance and grotesqueries. . . . [A] country cousin of David Foster
Wallace.”—The New York Times Book Review“Exceptional in its verbal brilliance and conscientiousness,
Against the Country involves us in a family’s anguished and hilarious struggle against the strange dooms that
seem peculiar to white rural America. This is a savage and gladdening novel.”—Joseph O’Neill, author
of Netherland and The Dog “Metcalf’s unnamed narrator dazzles with his Puritan deadpan and capacious
intellect, not to mention his double-barreled blasts of dark humor and wicked satire. . . . There are so many brilliant
turns of phrase in Against the Country that it’s hard to choose favorites, but Metcalf is at his sharpest and
most seductive when his antihero does more than blast and blame, when he steps outside his sermons to say something
real. . . . Every note in every solo is sounded with exquisite perfection.”—Slate “Faulknerian . . .
eccentric, magnificent Southern Gothic metafiction.”—Vanity Fair“Ben Metcalf is a brilliant writer,
and Against the Country is an ingenious and hilarious novel, a glittering, bitter celebration of how the lousiness of
life can be redeemed in the hands (and mouth) of a top-shelf teller of life’s stories.”—Sam Lipsyte,
author of The Ask and The Fun Parts “A daring conglomeration of every trick, swindle and gimmick possible using
only ink and paper, a pulpwood imagination machine so finely and expertly wrought that it can take on Jefferson,
Thoreau, the church, patriotism, race relations, sexual identity, J. D. Salinger, the myth of America and a thousand
other targets . . . [Against the Country] is absolutely and completely worth all investment of time and effort, because
it is an undeniably beautiful object, sharp as a new razor.”—NPR “One of the more
necessary—and most eloquent—expressions of a distinctly American, provincial rage in some
years.”—Flavorwire
