Yarbrough Twenty-First-Century Southern Writers: New Voices, New Perspectives, an anthology of critical essays, introduces a new group of fiction writers from the American South. These fresh voices, like their twentieth-century predecessors, examine what it means to be a southerner in the modern world. These writers' works cover wide-ranging subjects and themes: the history of the region, the continued problems of the working-class South, the racial divisions that have continued, the violence of the modern world, and the difficulties of establishing a spiritual identity in a modern context. The approaches and styles vary from writer to writer, with realistic, place-centered description as the foundation of many of their works. They have also created new perspectives regarding point of view, and some have moved toward the inclusion of "magic realism" and even science fiction in their work. The nineteen essays in Twenty-First-Century Southern Writers feature a handful of fiction writers who are already well known, such as National Book Award-winner Jesmyn Ward, Tayari Jones, Michael Farris Smith, and Inman Majors. Others deserve greater recognition, and, in many cases, works in this anthology will be the first pieces of analysis dedicated to writers and their work. Twenty-First-Century Southern Writers aims to alert scholars of southern literature, as well as the reading public, to an exciting and varied group of writers, while laying a foundation for future examination of these works"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a American literature $z Southern States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $z Southern States $y 21st century. 650 6 $a LitteÌrature ameÌricaine $z EÌtats-Unis (Sud) $y 21e sieÌcle. 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Cash, Jean W., $d 1938- $e editor. 700 1 $a Gaughran, Richard, $d 1952- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Twenty-first-century southern writers $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2021. $z 9781496833358 $w (DLC) 2020054692 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220520010514.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=23FCAA80D80211ECB2BAAE9643ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
