The American author Donald Ray Pollock was born and grew up in America’s backyard. In the little community called Knockemstiff in southern Ohio, there was – when Pollock was a child – a gravel road, some shops and about 400 inhabitants, most of them related to each other. When he was 17 years old, he dropped out of high school and got a job at a meat-packing factory in the neighbouring town of Chillicothe. A year later, he started working at the Mead Paper Company, like his father and grandfather before him.
