Collection of written works (short stories, poetry, essays) by Southern writes associated with Fairhope, Alabama. Most are enjoyable though forgettable but two authors' writing stood out to me as good examples of Southern writing - Silas House and Suzanne Hudson. Looking forward to reading other collections in the series.
A rather lackluster, forgettable collectionThe last few stories:Arnold’s NumberAbout lonelinessThe Dead GirlCreepy in a grotesque kind of wayThe Right Kind of Person
Lots of stories, some human interest, some mean, and some that make you cringe. No end to the human condition. I didn't enjoy it as much as other multi-story books. Maybe I might read it again sometime. Some stories I just didn't like much.
3.5 stars for this collection, rounded up because they are all southern. As with most short story anthologies, some are excellent, some just okay, but all the people and settings and speech patterns were familiar to me. I liked them enough that I'll look for more of these Blue Moon Cafe books.
This book is full of characters to say the least. I suppose one could say a touch of the south if you will.
I own this copy and return to it time and again to reread stories such as the one by Silas House.
This collection of short stories is the first of several by a group of very distinguished southern writers. It includes poetry and essays as well as stories. The stories run the gamut from tragic to humorous and include some good yarns. The editor also relates the story of the book title which grew out a southern writers conference. I'm looking forward to reading more of the stories from the later collections by these writers.
These short stories paint a fair picture of of the old and new south.
