Dogfight and Other Stories (1996)

by Michael Knight

Mobile, Alabama

Alabama: 14/18

   This was a good one- sadly a book of short stories. The Gulf Coast of Alabama seems pretty interesting- sometimes people go there on the house hunting shows on HGTV and this is the first novel where you get a sense of that white, upper-middle class existence, also white working-class existence, no non-white characters in this book.  The sense I got from Dogfight was lonely white guys, looking out to the Gulf of Mexico-America.
