Booklist and Notes

Angle, Barbara. Those That Mattered. New York: Crown, 1994. 307 pages. Hardback in dust jacket. $22.00. In 1979 Crossroads Press published Rinker by Barbara Angle, a novel of a day in the life of Jake Rinker, a coal miner. Thus it is curious that her 1994 novel is being promoted as a first novel. Angle's protagonist is a woman miner living in a West Virginia mining camp. The novelist worked as a coal miner for several years until an accident injured one of her arms and precluded her from keeping a job underground. "Angle writes clean prose with insightful detail. . . . She skips the region's humor and charm and portrays only the harsh, hopeless aspects of coal mining. Her characters rarely laugh, and their lives vary only in degrees of hardship." —Amy Hogg in the Lexington Herald-Leader.
