Donald Ray Pollock, a celebrated American author, embarked on a literary journey by releasing his enthralling compilation of short stories, aptly titled "Knockemstiff", in the year 2008. This outstanding literary endeavour was deeply entrenched in his own personal experiences, which were significantly influenced by his formative years spent in the charming Ohio town of Knockemstiff.
Years following the dawn of a new era, in the year 2011, a significant milestone was reached in the life of Pollock, as he made his debut as a novelist with the publication of "The Devil All the Time", a literary masterpiece that received widespread critical acclaim across the globe.
