>New Stories from the South

>My copy of this year’s edition of New Stories from the South, edited by Madison Smartt Bell, arrived today. I wish I could say I had a story in it, but I can say that there are some terrific stories by other people: Pinckney Benedict is there with a story from Image; Kevin Wilson’s story from Tin House is there; Jill McCorkle’s story from Narrative is also there. And a bunch more. It looks like very good reading.
