Georgia Boy: Stories

Georgia Boy: Stories

Fourteen stories that follow a young boy coming of age in a dysfunctional family in the rural South

Meet William Stroop, a young son of the South whose charming voice and mordant observations of family and culture make him one of American literatureâ€™s most memorable narrators. In these fourteen interwoven stories, William details the high (and low) points of his family history, focusing particularly on his lazy, scheming father, Morris, his put-upon mother, Martha, and his confidante, Handsome Brown, a young black farmhand. As Morris matches wits with strangers and neighbors alike in constant pursuit of get-rich-quick plans, Martha tries to hold the family together without the aid of any discernable income.
Â
Told with the polish and moral resonance of fables, Georgia Boy captures the beauty and tragedy of life in the rural South during the twentieth century.
