From the Publisher
The literary guide to the city America has come to love
THE BESTSELLING BOOK IN SAVANNAH--Literary Savannah
"Delightful."-CREATIVE LOAFING
"Savannah is a...lovely, pastel dream of tight cobbled streets....There are legendary scenes extreme anough to rival any dreamed up by Tennessee Williams."-ROSEMARY DANIELL
"I recall my fleeting instants in Savannah as the taste of a cup charged to the brim."-HENRY JAMES
"I was beguiled by Savannah....In [her] palmier days it had been a cosmopolitan city and its citizens an unusually worldly sort."-JOHN BERENDT
"The stretch of coast from Savannah southward is...the most beautiful place in the world."- MARGARET MITCHELL
The statues of Savannah's Monument Square are silent. The statue of the solemn girl in Bonaventure Cemetery--made famous in John berendt's blockbuster, MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL--cannot speak. Only Savannah's literary monuments can give voice to the rich and diverse history of one of America's greatest cities; one that has for centuries inspired writers worldwide.
LITERARY SAVANNAH is a rich collection of fiction and nonfiction writing by thirty seven writers who are from the city or who have lived there including: Aberjhani, Conrad Aiken, Sherwood Anderson, William Bartram, John Berendt, Emily Pillsbury Burke, Chekilli, Tom Coffey, Lonnie Coleman, Rosemary Daniell, Margaret DeBolt, J. Madison Drake, Olaudah Equino, Chris Fuhrman, Julien Green, Ben Greer, George Washington Harris, Joel Chandler Harris, Harry Hervey, William Dean Howells, Henry James, Ja A. Jahannes, Alexander Lawrence, Julittte Gordon Low, James Alan McPherson, Johnny Mercer, John Muir, Ogden Nash, Flannery O'Connor, James Oglethorpe, William T. Sherman, Mark Steadman, Robert Louis Stevenson, William Thackeray, George Washington, John Wesley, and Richard Henry Wilde.
Other published or forthcoming guides in Hill Street's guides to the literary South include: LITERARY NEW ORLEANS, LITERARY NASHVILLE, LITERARY NORTH CAROLINA, LITERARY ATLANTA, LITERARY LOW COUNTRY, and LITERARY DELTA, and others.
