Whether it is their language and reflexive storytelling or the craft and techniques by which writers transform life and experience into art that fascinates Gretlund, elements of their fiction led to his interviews with the fourteen storytellers featured in Southern Writers Bear Witness. Gretlund believes a good interview will always reveal something about a writer's life and character, details that can inform a reading of that writer's fiction. The interviewer's task, according to Gretlund, is to supply the reader with some of the sources and experiences that inspired and shaped the fiction. Through his conversations Gretlund also occasionally elicits the subjects' reflections on other writers and their work to discover affiliations, lines of influence, and divergences, and he also emphasizes the enduring power of their work"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a American literature $z Southern States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Authors, American $x Homes and haunts $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Interviews. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Intellectual life. 651 0 $a Southern States $x In literature. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a Authors, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821764 650 7 $a Authors, American $x Homes and haunts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821779 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423832 700 1 $a Turner, Daniel Cross, $e writer of foreword. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gretlund, Jan Nordby. $t Southern writers bear witness. $d Columbia : University of South Carolina Press, 2018 $z 9781611178777 $w (DLC) 2018012977 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180802014418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=928BCFC8961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
