Southern Selves: From Mark Twain and Eudora Welty to Maya Angelou and Kaye Gibbons–A Collection of Autobiographical Writing by James H. Watkins [ED]
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.18mb
Overview: The memoirist seek to capture not just a self but an entire world, and in this marvellous anthology thirty-one of the South’s finest writers—writers like Kaye Gibbons and Reynolds Price, Eudora Welty and Harry Crews, Richard Wright and Dorothy Allison—make their intensely personal contributions to a vibrant collective picture of southern life.
In the hands of these superb artists, the South’s rich tradition of storytelling is brilliantly revealed. Whether slave or master, intellectual or “red-neck,” each voice in this moving and unforgettable collection is proof that southern literature richly deserves its reputation for irreverent humour, exquisite language, a feeling for place, and an undying, often heartbreaking sense of the past.
