Summary: On this Lit Show, Dylan Nice discusses his first collection, Other Kinds. Set in the spaces between a melancholic Pennsylvania mining town and Midwestern college, the stories in Other Kinds follow a bright but disillusioned young man as he navigates the social codes of his class, fails repeatedly at love, and struggles to communicate with his stoic father and unmotivated brother. By turns nostalgic and solipsistic, each connected story reveals some small truth couched in dirty rust-belt realism.
