With omniscient narration, rich detail, and lyrical prose, Matthew Neill Null brings his landscape and characters vividly to life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAllegheny Front \u003c\/i\u003ehas few sentimental trappings. . . . Men's stubbornness is a rock face, in these intelligent and unpretentious stories, their anger a crown fire, their occasional tenderness a rill. . . .
