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.
Born in the small coal-mining town of Grundy, Virginia, Lee Smith began writing stories at the age of nine and selling them for a nickel apiece. Since then, she has written seventeen works of fiction, including Fair and Tender Ladies, Oral History, and, most recently, Guests on Earth. She has received many awards, including the North Carolina Award for Literature and an Academy Award in Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters; her novel The Last Girls was a New York Times bestseller as well as winner of the Southern Book Critics Circle Award. She lives in Hillsborough, North Carolina, with her husband, the writer Hal Crowther. Visit her at www.leesmith.com.
