Jan Nordby Gretlund has been studying the literature of the American South for some fifty years, and his outsider's perspective as a European scholar has made him an intellectually acute witness of both the literature and its creators. In this volume he interviews fourteen Southern storytellers who reveal their influences, methods and daily routines, and struggles with the writing process.

In this collection of essays, 16 historians and literary critics offer a collective effort to define Southern identity at the end of the 20th century. The book addresses the question of whether inherited Southern values, problems and contradictions have survived the onslaught of modernization.
