K. L. Cook
Kenny "K. L." Cook is an American writer from Texas. He is the author of ''Last Call'' (2004), a collection of linked stories spanning thirty-two years in the life of a West Texas family, and the novel, ''The Girl From Charnelle'' (2006).
==''Last Call''==
''Last Call'' (University of Nebraska Press 2004) was the inaugural winner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Fiction. Stories in the collection were originally published in literary journals such as ''Threepenny Review, American Short Fiction, Shenandoah,'' and ''Post Road.'' Two of the stories won the Grand Prize in the 2002 Santa Fe Writers Project Literary Arts Series.
Set mostly in Texas and the American Southwest, the stories sympathetically depict the blue-collar lives of oil riggers, railroad and steel construction workers, x-ray technicians, waitresses, and a con man who tries to buy Costa Rica and examine themes of multi-generational family dynamics, adolescence, and the tension between work and personal relationships.
The book received wide acclaim from critics, who called it "a remarkably accomplished first collection" (''Kirkus Reviews''), "a breathtakingly haunting and magical tapestry of human emotion" (''Booklist''), and "a deep and haunting book" (''Harvard Review'').
