In The Road to Matewan, Pancoast writes an ode to the land of Appalachia while giving a voice to its marginalized people. The novel tells the story of Thomas Greene, a man confronted with the destructive forces of modernization and industrialization, and the choices he must make to be free. This historical novel resonates with present-day political relevance, and William is an emerging writer to watch.
- Amy Greene, author of Bloodroot and Longman
