Mitch Wieland


“Mitch Wieland’s stories are like his characters: wind-swept, isolated, trembling with longing.”

— Anthony Doerr

“Mitch Wieland’s stories have great breadth, powerful sympathies, and a renewing comprehension of our human selves which we only find in the best literature.”

— Richard Ford

“Through the brevity born of perfectly chosen words, and through the pervasive intimations of hope, Wieland transforms this story of lives on the edge of ordinary into a psalm.”

Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Transcendent portrait . . . spellbinding.”

Booklist (starred review)
