About this title

Synopsis:

Drawing on extensive research and conversations and interviews with Gaine's relatives and friends in River Lake Plantation, Louisiana, Mary Ellen Doyle offers a lively and illuminating study of the scope of Gaine's work, from his previously unexamined short fiction through his popular novels.

Review:

"Graceful, courteous, courageous, honest, unselfish, mutually appreciative and respectful approaches to the problems of life seem to have Gaines's approval. Doyle's very fine analysis and appreciation of these and other aspects of Gaines's complex, humane genius is well worth reading."
