Stories from the South, July 6, 2007
This review is from: New Stories from the South, 2005 (Paperback)
I so much enjoyed the short stories written by Southern authors. There is something inherent in the Southern psyche that can tell a story!!
Excellent reading, you can enjoy it all at one time or read one story at a time. They keep getting better every year! You won't be disappointed!

Rich experiences through the short story, May 9, 2007
This review is from: New Stories from the South, 2005 (Paperback)
This collection of stories is generally very strong, and I was exposed to new writers. My favorite stories were Mr. Sender by Moira Crone, My Heart Is a Snake Farm by Allan Gurganus, and Good Witch Bad Witch b y Gregory Sanders. Each of these stories was complex and yet very warm and engaging. As Jill McCorkele hits the nail on the head when she describes southern writing as working your way through a maze of experiences to understand and appreciate the richness and texture of life. With few exceptions, these stories lead you through an intriguing and challenging maze.
