Donald Ray Pollock
Donald Ray Pollock is an American writer. Born in 1954 and raised in Knockemstiff, Ohio, Pollock has lived his entire adult life in Chillicothe, Ohio, where he worked at the Mead Paper Mill as a laborer and truck driver until age 50, when he enrolled in the English program at Ohio State University.〔Peck, Claude. (July 22, 2011). "(Donald Ray Pollock: Grim stories, beautifully told )", ''Star Tribune''. Retrieved October 13, 2013.〕 While there, Doubleday published his debut short story collection, ''Knockemstiff'', and the ''New York Times'' regularly posted his election dispatches from southern Ohio throughout the 2008 campaign. ''The Devil All the Time'', his first novel, was published in 2011. His work has appeared in various literary journals, including ''Epoch'', ''Sou'wester'', ''Granta'', ''Third Coast'', ''River Styx'', ''The Journal'', ''Boulevard'', ''Tin House'', and ''PEN America''. His third book, another novel, will be published by Doubleday in 2016.
==Reception==
Pollock's fiction has been referred to as "Hillbilly Gothic" and "Southern Ohio Gothic," and has received positive reviews from critics. ''Knockemstiff'' was awarded the PEN/Robert Bingham Prize, and has been published in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Catalonia, and England. Discussing ''The Devil All The Time'', Vick Mickunas wrote in ''The Washington Independent Review of Books'' that "... there’s an otherness to Pollock’s characters that this reviewer finds strangely compelling. We might not be able to relate to the violence, but we comprehend the humanity — the flaws, the deceits, the crushed dreams, the hope that rises like a delicate flower from ashes." On the other hand, Josh Ritter, an Americana folk singer who reviewed the novel for the ''New York Times Book Review'', was a bit put off by the violence, but did speak highly of the prose. As of 2015, it has been translated into sixteen languages. 〔Ritter, Josh. (August 12, 2011). "(A Good Man Is Impossible to Find )", ''The New York Times". Retrieved October 13, 2013.〕
