Description: 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." ---from the Introduction by F.
