<DIV><p>Michigan State University Press is proud to announce the re-release of Harriette Simpson Arnow's 1949 novel <i>Hunter's Horn</i>, a work that Joyce Carol Oates called "our most unpretentious American masterpiece."  <BR>      In <i>Hunter's Horn</i>, Arnow has written the quintessential account of Kentucky hill people--the quintessential novel of Southern Appalachian farmers, foxhunters, foxhounds, women, and children. New York Times reviewer Hirschel Brickell declared that Arnow "writes...as effortlessly as a bird sings, and the warmth, beauty, the sadness and the ache of life itself are not even once absent from her pages."  <BR>      Arnow writes about Kentucky in the way that William Faulkner writes about Mississippi, that Flannery O'Connor writes about Georgia, or that Willa Cather writes about Nebraska--with studied realism, with landscapes and characters that take on mythic proportions, with humor, and with memorable and remarkable attention to details of the human heart that motivate literature.  <BR>  </p></DIV>
