Best of the South: The Best of the Second Decade (Paperback)
Description
Since 1986, New Stories from the South has brought the best short fiction of the year to the attention of a national audience. The series has been called "the collection others should use as a model" (the Charlotte Observer), and for twenty years it has held to that standard.
When Anne Tyler helped us celebrate the first ten years of the series in Best of the South, 1986-1995, the reviews were ecstatic. "A triumph of authentic voices and unforgettable characters," said Southern Living. "An introduction to some of the best writers in the world today," raved the Northwest Arkansas Times. Now that the anthology has reached its twentieth birthday, Anne Tyler has done it again. From the 186 stories found in the ten volumes from 1996 to 2005, she has picked her favorites and introduced them with warmth, insight, and her own brand of quiet literary authority.
Once again, her choices reflect her love of the kind of generous fiction she has called "spendthrift."Here are twenty stories--by both famous and first-time writers, from Lee Smith and Max Steele to Gregory Sanders and Stephanie Soileau--that hold nothing back.
Rick Bragg in the Movies
Even though you weren’t able to attend the September 26, 2011, sold-out world premiere of Alabama’s Rick Bragg: Out of the Dirt, here’s your opportunity to view the entire movie at home, as well as much bonus footage not seen in the original documentary.
Listen in on distinguished Alabamaians, local friends and family tell inside tales on Rick as a child and award-winning best-selling author. Rick also gives his life’s philosophy in many scenes. Find out about his mother’s poetry; hear his aunt tell of dressing him as a girl when he was a tot. If ever there was a priceless gift, this is it.
