Stories: Contemporary Southern Short Fiction

Donald Hays

4.9/5 (10629 ratings)

Description:Though this is a book of stories by Southerners, the settings range widely, from Italy to Ireland, from Montreal to Barbados. Included are works from such diverse Southern writers as Andre Dubus, William Goyen, Mary Hood, Tom T. Hall, Lewis Nordan and Jayne Anne Phillips.“This book has spunk and fire and a broad streak of recurring orneriness to go with its lyricism and nimble drama. In spite of all the variety it contains, the book has a unified tone— a Southern tone no doubt in spite of seeming to originate in all corners of the compass. The range of subject matter is as engaging as the multitudinous techniques. It is not only the various authors who deserve congratulation but the editor as well— for he has measured and selected with a creative imagination quite equal to the accomplishments of the individual writers represented here. He has heard the protracted rumble of an earthquake and loyally mapped the territory where the major tremors occurred.“It is not a book from which one can easily select favorites, and that is as it should be. These stories aren’t in competition. Too many of them are absolutely first rate to imagine ranking them. Having said that, I can’t help saying that I was tickled into a persistent giggling by Lewis Nordan’s “Sugar Among The Chickens.” Ah, then, it’s one good story among a host of others.” — R.V.
