A master of short fiction, Hannah is considered by many to be one of the most important writers of modern American literature. His writing is often praised more for its unflinching use of language, rich metaphors, and tragically damaged characters than for plot. "I am doomed to be a more lengthy fragmentist," he once claimed. "In my thoughts, I don't ever come on to plot in a straightforward way." Conversations with Barry Hannah collects interviews published between 1980 and 2010. Within them Hannah engages interviewers in discussions on war and violence, masculinity, religious faith, abandoned and unfinished writing projects, the modern South and his time spent away from it, the South's obsession with defeat, the value of teaching writing, and post-Faulknerian literature. Despite his rejection of the label "southern writer," Hannah's work has often been compared to that of fellow Mississippian William Faulkner, particularly for each author's use of dark humor and the Southern Gothic tradition in their work. Notwithstanding these comparisons, Hannah's voice is distinctly and undeniably his own, a linguistic tour de force"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Hannah, Barry $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Fiction $x Authorship. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY COLLECTIONS $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Hannah, Barry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00049838 650 7 $a Authors, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821764 650 7 $a Fiction $x Authorship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00923713 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423832 700 1 $a Thomas, James G., $c Jr., $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hannah, Barry. $t Conversations with Barry Hannah. $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, [2016] $z 9781496804440 $w (DLC) 2015025128 830 0 $a Literary conversations series. 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers/1343/3049165/image/lgcover.9781496804358.jpg 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826044403.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=078834E46B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
