In Midwestern flyover country, the stories of More Hell weave a rich and sometimes comic tapestry of longing, addiction, sex, and loss-themes common to all our lives. The wild cast of rural characters navigate a fast-changing world from their vantage point in a place unaccustomed to such change. This collection swirls perpetually around the hope and animosity of Neil and Maria Kenning's fracturing marriage, while introducing readers to the voices around them: an autistic woman who imagines her relationship as a fragile glass house; a little girl who plays with sentient nativity figurines while her mother's infidelity unfolds for all to see; a young man grieving the deaths of his great aunt and a blue-collar boy he had feelings for in high school. More Hell presents characters struggling for self-actualization and personal identity in a space painfully confined by its geography.
al-Sirgany's writing paints a nuanced picture, challenging stereotypes and revealing the depth and diversity hidden beneath the surface of a seemingly monochrome landscape. The cast of More Hell will resonate long after the final page.
