Lord of the Barnyard opens with the death
of a woolly mammoth in the last ice age and concludes with a greased-pig-chase funeral in the modern-day Midwest.In the interim there are two hydroelectric dam disasters,fourteen tavern brawls,one shoot-out in the hills,three cases of suspected arson,a riot in the town hall, a lone tornado,a coven of Methodist crones, an encampment of Appalachian crop thieves, six renegade coal-truck operators,an outraged mob of factory rats,a dysfunctional poultry plant and one autodidact goat-roping farm boy by the
name of John Kaltenbrunner.
Tristan Egolf's debut novel is a brilliantly comic tapestry of Middle America - of overtaxed assembly-line workers snapping on the job one afternoon, leaving their posts in mid-stride and driving stolen oil tankers through highway-side Baptist churches.
'Lord of the Barnyard' is a painfully funny,unforgettable work of fiction about the lengths to which any reasonably sensitive soul might be driven to by years of quiet desperation on the factory floor.
