Rent New Stories from the South 2009

Synopsis

This year, the esteemed writer Madison Smartt Bell continues this tradition. I know you know his name, either from his essays, which appear regularly in The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, the Village Voice, Harper's, and many others; or for his acclaimed trilogy of novels which chart the Haitian Revolution. Madison Smartt Bell was born and raised in Nashville, and is the author of twelve novels and two short story collection. His novel All Souls' Rising was a finalist for the National Book Award, the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, and won the Annisfield-Wolf Award for the best book of the year dealing with matters of race. So we feel especially lucky to have his choices this year.

In Madison's choices, we have assembled an outstanding line-up of short stories, one of the best we've ever had, coming from all reaches of the South, encompassing life in the mountains as well as life in the city.
