“Short fiction is the medium I love the most, because it requires that I bring everything I've learned about poetry - the concision, the ability to say something as vividly as possible - but also the ability to create a narrative that, though lacking a novel's length, satisfies the reader.” AbilityFictionNovelReaderMediumsNarrativeI've LearnedLengthLacking Author:Ron Rash
“Like Flannery O'Connor, McCorkle's genius is to give us both philosophical speculation and a riveting narrative filled with unforgettable characters.

Jill McCorkle is one of the South's greatest writers; she is also one of America's.” GivingWritingCharacterAmericaGeniusPhilosophicalFilledSouthNarrativeAbundanceSpeculationGreat WritingUnforgettablePoignancy Author:Ron Rash
“John Lane has long been recognized as one of the South's finest poets and memoirists. This debut establishes him as one of our finest novelists as well.
