Beskrivelse
The sixteen short stories featured in Skip Horack's prize-winning debut collection paint a richly textured vision of the American South. Set in the Gulf Coast over the course of a year torn halfway by the arrival of Hurricane Katrina, these stories, filled with humor, restraint, and verve, follow the lives of an assembly of unforgettable characters. An exonerated ex-con who may not be entirely innocent, a rabbit farmer in mourning, and an earnest young mariner trying to start a new life with his wife--all are characters that populate the spirited cities and drowsy parishes in Horack's marvelous portrait of the South. A knockout winner for guest judge Antonya Nelson, The Southern Cross marks the arrival of a standout new voice.
