Battle Notes while Choosing 2006's New Stories from the South
God created Man because He loved to hear stories. - African Proverb
What Northern academics pathologize as "Southern Gothic," native North Carolinians call "the Yankees retired next door."
New Stories from the Upper Middle West and Michigan Penninsula? There is no such thing. Why not? Surely citizens up there pay property tax six months earlier than most Southerners. They have less racial strife, being mainly one unchallenged race (ex-Swedes?). Such prairie-dwellers probably never once considered marrying even their most attractive first cousin. But, face it, the only region of the U.S. ever to declare war on every other region of the nation won-if not that great gray fib of succession, then most of the recuperating country's truest stories. |
