Former staffer publishes novel:
Congratulations to former Shenandoah intern and Washington and Lee alumnus Matthew Neill Null upon the publication of his first novel, Honey from the Lion, about which Salvatore Scibona has written, “It’s hard to believe this is fiction and not the firsthand account of the spirit of a place and time long past.”
In what Ron Rash has called “beautiful prose,” the novel renders the account of Cur Greathouse being summoned and at first resisting the need for a rebellion against the land barons who are recklessly decimating the timberlands of West Virginia. Full of desperate and well-wrought characters, this elegy for a marvelous natural landscape shivers with high voltage writing and taut suspense as personal tragedies unfold and lives are transformed.
