Articles liés à The Half-Mammals of Dixie
Synopsis
This second collection of short stories by a bright star in Southern fiction showcases a town so tiny it missed the map, the gleefully off-the-wall Southerners who refuse to be pigeonholed, and a South far removed from big-city Atlanta and proper Charleston. As the author says of his characters, "They're regular people just trying to get by." Among them: a boy whose reputation is ruined when he appears in a head-lice documentary; a lovelorn father who woos his third-grader's teacher with creative show-and-tells; and a former pharmaceuticals salesman who waits for the word of God to tell him what to paint on next the "primitive" canvases he sells for big bucks to an art dealer.

Relentlessly offbeat . . . A disturbingly askew-at times, downright surreal-vision of the South.-Entertainment Weekly Singleton's voice comes off like that of a brilliant barfly, who occasionally suffers from the clairvoyance of madness.-The Times-Picayune (New Orleans) Sly, intelligent, hilarious.-The Charlotte Observer George Singleton has been published in the Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, Playboy, and Zoetrope. The author of the short-story collection These People Are Us, he teaches writing at South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities and lives in Pickens County, South Carolina.
