History

Weaving multiple storylines with vivid description of characters, Haske’s debut novel brings new life and a unique voice to the fiction of rural America. North Dixie Highway is a story of family bonds, devolution, and elusive revenge.

When Buck Metzger’s childhood is interrupted by the disappearance of his grandfather, several family members and close friends plot revenge on the suspected killer. From remote towns in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, to the Texas/Mexico border, to war-torn Bosnia, Metzger struggles for self-identity and resolution in a world of blue-collar ethics and liquor-fueled violence.

“Lyrical, passionate, unflinching, Joe Haske’s fiction grabs hold of you and shakes you to your core. He is one of the most exciting young American writers of his generation.”

“Read these stories for lessons in how to survive, lessons in how to thrive, and lessons in how to write!”
—Ron Cooper, author, Purple Jesus and Hume’s Fork

"Joe Haske writes about violence and vengeance that I understand. It may be fueled by alcohol and anger, but it's based on love and loyalty: avenging the dead, defending the living. Few writers today chronicle the landscape of the static poor--those who do dead-end work with no way out--particularly in a rural setting. Daniel Woodrell in one. Offutt is another. With his debut book, North Dixie Highway, Joe Haske joins these ranks.
--Larry Foundation, Author of Angry Nights, Common Criminals, Fish, Soap, and Bonds and Unintended Consequences
