{"product_id":"stories-of-the-modern-south-isbn-9780140247053","title":"Stories of the Modern South","description":"Some of the greatest storytellers of our time chronicle twentieth-century southern life.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Rich in irony, sly humor, and vivid, dramatic imagery, the literature of the modern South is a vital amalgam of a once-rural society’s storytelling tradition and the painful contradictions and cultural clashes brought about by rapid change. The stories in this collection are as diverse as the region itself, yet they are all connected by a shared history and a uniquely southern strain of American language and narrative. Contributors include Truman Capote, William Faulkner, Carson McCullers, Flannery O’Connor, Katherine Anne Porter, Alice Walker, Eudora Welty, and Tennessee Williams.Copyright Notices and Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eJAMES AGEE: \"1928 Story\"\u003cbr\u003eJOHN BARTH: \"Water-Message\"\u003cbr\u003eDORIS BETTS: \"The Ugliest Pilgrim\"\u003cbr\u003eTRUMAN CAPOTE: \"Children on Their Birthdays\"\u003cbr\u003eFRED CHAPPELL: \"Blue Dive\"\u003cbr\u003eJOHN WILLIAM CORRINGTON: \"Pleadings\"\u003cbr\u003eANDRE DUBUS: \"Over the Hill\"\u003cbr\u003eWILLIAM FAULKNER: \"Pantaloon in Black\"\u003cbr\u003eERNEST GAINES: \"The Sky Is Gray\"\u003cbr\u003eGEORGE GARRETT: \"Time of Bitter Children\"\u003cbr\u003eELLEN GILCHRIST: \"Revenge\"\u003cbr\u003eCAROLINE GORDON: \"The Brilliant Leaves\"\u003cbr\u003eWILLIAM GOYEN: \"The Faces of Blood Kindred\"\u003cbr\u003eBARRY HANNAH: \"Testimony of Pilot\"\u003cbr\u003eMARY HOOD: \"Nobody's Fool\"\u003cbr\u003eMADISON JONES: \"The Fugitives\"\u003cbr\u003eCARSON MCCULLERS: \"The Sojourner\"\u003cbr\u003eFLANNERY O'CONNOR: \"Good Country People\"\u003cbr\u003eBREECE D'J PANCAKE: \"Trilobites\"\u003cbr\u003eJAYNE ANNE PHILLIPS: \"1934\"\u003cbr\u003eKATHERINE ANNE PORTER: \"Holiday\"\u003cbr\u003eREYNOLDS PRICE: \"The Warrior Princess Ozimba\"\u003cbr\u003eEVE SHELNUTT: \"Angel\"\u003cbr\u003eELIZABETH SPENCER: \"The Finder\"\u003cbr\u003ePETER TAYLOR: \"What You Hear from 'Em?\"\u003cbr\u003eANNE TYLER: \"The Geologist's Maid\"\u003cbr\u003eALICE WALKER: \"Strong Horse Tea\"\u003cbr\u003eROBERT PENN WARREN: \"Blackberry Winter\"\u003cbr\u003eEUDORA WELTY: \"The Wide Net\"\u003cbr\u003eTENNESSEE WILLIAMS: \"The Yellow Bird\"\u003cbr\u003eContributors","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46299796734181,"sku":"NP9780140247053","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780140247053.jpg?v=1767737371","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/stories-of-the-modern-south-isbn-9780140247053","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
