Inhaltsangabe

From Poe to Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor to Alice Hoffman, there is a long tradition of Southern writing that tests the borders of reality. Noted authors Cox and Duncan present eighteen fabulous original stories by some of the most brilliantly talented southern writers of our time. From darkly imagined, powerful tales by Lynn Pitts, Bret Lott, Daniel Wallace, Don Webb, Brad Watson, and Kalamu ya Salaam, to the deeply affecting and sensual "A Plate of Mojo" by Honoree Fanonne Jeffers, to atmospheric works by Richard Butner, James L. Cambias, and Jack McDevitt, to wildly funny, piquant stories by Scott Edelman, and Michael Swanwick, this is new fiction to delight readers with a taste for the different. With wonderful reprinted stories by Fred Chappell, John Kessel, Andy Duncan, Michael Bishop, Sena Jeter Naslund and others, Crossroads is a place to find great modern southern magic realism, modern fabulism, and other remarkably entertaining fiction.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

New Writing from the Southern Literary Tradition

"What Southern literature and the literature of the fantastic share is a rootedness in the particularity of place. The Mississippi of William Faulkner and Richard Wright and the Georgia of Flannery O'Connor and Alice Walker are akin to Bradbury's Mars, Tolkien's Middle-Earth, Baum's Oz, and the German forests of the Brothers Grimm. All are lands simultaneously real and imagined, luminously inventive yet as accessible and specific as the reader's backyard."
