New Stories from the South: The Year's Best, 2001 - Brossura

The South is both as it always was, and a profoundly different place than it used to be. But it still seems to be true, as Lee Smith says, that "narrative is in the air. This year's collection ranges from decaying farms to department stores, from small towns to thriving cities, tracking the likes of a violent paperhanger, a boy who kidnaps his school bus driver, an ambitious fiddler, and a failed adman. Once again, New Stories from the South is full to the brim with evocative, hilarious, moving, authentic, rip-your-heart-out stories.
