A New Life – Stories & Photographs From the Suburban South: Stories and Photographs from the Suburban South: 0 (The Lyndhurst Series on the South) - Hardcover
Synopsis
"How do you write about third generation Snopeses who have moved to Memphis and joined an encounter group?" asked Walter Percy in his book Signposts in a Strange Land. A New Life answers this question, combining the stories of eleven of the best new writers of southern fiction with contemporary work from extraordinary southern photographers. These short stories and surprising images portray the South not as we might imagine or remember it, but as it is lived--in condos and malls, on golf courses and interstates, in family rooms and bedrooms, and in the hearts and minds of southern people. This volume brings together recent southern stories by Richard Barusch, Bobbie Ann Mason, Lee Smith, Robert Olen Butler, and Mary Ward Brown, among others, coupled with photographic essays. These revealing pictures and stories cover a broad geographical and emotional territory and give us a revealing portrait of the new look and feel of the contemporary South.

From the Author
Great idea to marry unrelated photographs and short fiction!
As one of the photographer-contributors to this book project, it was exciting to have such well written short Southern fiction woven between bodies of photographic work made in the South by a divergent group of photographers. A great idea/project by Alex Harris, which I was happy to participate. Also, the added exposure via book publishing has fostered the sale of original prints. William K. Greiner
