Head of W-Hollow was Jesse
Stuart’s third book to be published and
was the first of
his collections of short stories. The
book brings together twenty-one short
stories, culled from such magazines as
The American Mercury, The
New Republic, The Yale Review
and others. The book’s title is drawn
from the first story. The book garnered
good reviews. Mark Van Doren opined that
“the stories in themselves are strange
and powerful; a great deal happens in
W-Hollow, even the world has been
ignorant of the fact” (Richardson Jesse,
232). The world would no
longer be ignorant of W-Hollow and its inhabitants
through the writing its long
resident and champion, Jesse Stuart.
The Jesse Stuart Collection also has a copy
of the, now fragile, paper-back special
armed services edition, issued for the
military during the Second World War.
It, too, is autographed by Jesse Stuart.
