Synopsis
"An illuminating, and at the same time, thoroughly entertaining compilation, Louisiana Stories is enhanced by an introductory essay that is a contribution not only to the literary history of the state but also of the South." -- Lewis P. Simpson, former professor of English at Louisiana State University and editor of The Southern Review Southern writers have always excelled in the short story form. Eudora Welty, Flannery O'Connor, and Peter Taylor are the yardsticks by which short story writers are judged not only within the realm of Southern literature but also within that of American literature. By compiling an impressive array of stories by many of the Deep South's finest writers, anthologist Ben Forkner demonstrates how Louisianans in particular have influenced the development of the short story. Forkner writes in his insightful introductory essay: "These same native Louisiana stories manage to announce the central themes of modern Southern fiction more emphatically, and earlier, than the writing of any other single Southern region." Included in this compilation are works by Henry Clay Lewis, George Washington Cable, Lafcadio Hearn, Grace King, Kate Chopin, William Faulkner, Lyle Saxon, Arna Bontemps, Zora Neale Hurston, E.P. O'Donnell, Shirley Ann Grau, Ernest Gaines, Andre Dubus, James Lee Burke, Robb Forman Dew, and John William Corrington., Southern writers have always excelled in the short story form. By compiling an impressive array of stories by many of the Deep South's finest writers, anthologist Ben Forkner demonstrates how Louisianans in particular have influenced the development of the short story.

- a***c (546)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseLovely hardboard book with dust jacket and in very good condition for its age. Prompt shipping and packaged well.
- u***e (721)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook arrived in excellent condition and was fairly prompt. Seller didn’t shows the “fun” stickers on the back. And the sellers’ description was I kid you not, the following:” NC2550PMS3/23”. It’s a good thing I knew what the book was because I have no idea what that description means! But hey the seller accepted my offer so no big deal.
- o***i (875)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI ordered this book on history and its SUPER! The description of the book was exactly as the seller described. It was reasonably priced, and the shipping was reasonable as well! This seller took the great care to secure this book from getting damaged, and I greatly appreciate that! THIS IS AN AWSOME SELLER!!Plantation Parade: The Grand Manner In Louisiana by Kane, Harnett T. (#146401775938)
- 7***a (186)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived in flat bubble envelope ONLY and was mangled in transit. Not even close to enough padding! Beautiful OwlCrate signed edition, ruined. I contacted the seller, they simply told me to return it, with no apology, no "I will do better next time". If you look at their negative feedback, most of it deals with books. Seller clearly does not value books and I would not order books from this seller unless you don't care about condition. Very disappointing experience. Please use bubble wrap!!!What the Woods Took by Courtney Gould OwlCrate Signed Edition (#146380912691)
