Growing Up in the South (Signet Classics)

Growing Up in the South (Signet Classics)

Something about the South has inspired the imaginations of an extraordinary number of Americaâ€™s best storytellersâ€”and greatest writers. That quality may be a rich, unequivocal sense of place, a living connection with the past, or the contradictions and passions that endow this region with awesome beauty and equally awesome tragedy. The stories in this superb collection of modern Southern writing are about childhood, adolescence, and young adulthoodâ€”in other words, about growing up in the South. Flannery Oâ€™Connorâ€™s â€œEverything That Rises Must Converge,â€ set in a South that remains segregated even after segregation is declared illegal, is the story of a white college student who chastises his mother for her prejudice against blacks. But black, white, aristocrat, or sharecropper, each of these 23 authors is unmistakably Southernâ€”and their writing is indisputably wonderful.
