The Signet Classic Book of Southern Short Stories

Rating:
Summary: Spatterings of Southern Life
Review: The diverse plotlines presented in this collection of 34 short stories by Southern Writers it quite a treat. Having picked up the book for a Southern Literature class, I quickly realized how multifacted the southern living experience was. The stories cover a wide range of topics from family structure and interactions to chilling ghost tales to rowdy children and rebellious women. Well known authors like Edgar Allen Poe, Kate Chopin, and Zora Neale Hurston paint vivid pictures of the South and the types of people living not only days past, but in the contemporary South as well. Curl up in a blanket on your veranda and enjoy this taste of the south!
