Clay AndersonFrom Faulkner's tangled family sagas to Lee's coming-of-age in Alabama, Southern Literature is a rich tapestry of history, culture, and tradition. Its characters, dialects, and landscapes leave an indelible mark on readers' hearts and minds. #SouthernLit #ReadMore
Brian FaucetteFinished this outstanding example of Southern literature/North Carolina fiction. Winslow offers an exciting new voice in African American literature as he creates a setting and characters that feel true to the place and times. It builds on his debut novel In West Mills which like this one explores questions around race, place, community, and privilege in a manner that is refreshing and unique. These are brilliant books that are thought provoking. #Literaryfiction #SouthernLit
Patch ZircherLatest read, Lily Daw and the Three Ladies (1941) from The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty. Simple-minded Lily Daw wants to marry a xylophone player she met at the carnival the night before but three morally upright, civic-minded women want to put a stop to that.
You can smell the magnolia and feel the sun in Welty's southern tales.
Measured, immaculate, sly storytelling.

Rachel Kirby#Question: If you were to assign or recommend one #book about/from the US #South, what would it be and why? Asking partially out of curiosity and partially to get the wheels turning for a syllabus.

It's Christmastime, so it is time for my favorite, "A Southern Night Before Christmas," by Kelly Kazek. "Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, We were sticky and sweaty 'cause this is the South." Y'all enjoy, and Merry Christmas!!

My current big project is looking at references to/depictions of abortion in pre-Roe southern literature. I'm finding it esp difficult to find info about abortion in the pre-Roe South. I appreciate any suggestions for resources/sources. #SouthernLit #abortion
