That's What I Like (about the South), and Other New Southern Stories for the Nineties: And Other New Southern Stories for the Nineties

George P. Garrett

3.8/5 ( ratings)

"Southern Fiction is alive and kicking and going off in all kinds of directions as this old century stagers to an end."

These stories weave together themes that underscore what being Southern is all about: the retelling of the past, the uncertainty of the future, the haunting presence of racial guilt, the inescapable influence of family-for better or worse, the struggle for survival, and the tragedy and humor of Southern life.
