		<title>Barry Hannah Passes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times and the Oxford Eagle are reporting that Barry Hannah passed away on March 1.  SLR always liked this quote of his, about the term “southern writer:”
No really good writer could be merely Southern. A fiction writer isn’t provincial, ever. He should be sending back news from the front, news somebody else might [...]]]></description>

		<title>Concord, Virginia by Peter Neofotis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Southern Town Echoes Cradle to Grave
And, mirrors civilization from cradle to grave as well. These stories from the South seep storied tales from the past. Vultures and buzzards abound, their leavings foreshadow early that nasty stuff is to come, as nasty as some of the hidden behaviors of the founding fathers. Snakes weave about and [...]]]></description>

A fact that can get lost when categorized as African-American fiction, or women’s fiction, and hailed as a great book by a black woman before the Civil Rights Movement took hold.  Unlike Langston Hughes and Richard Wright, Hurston didn’t write about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was with great interest—and, perhaps, skepticism, for I myself taught English in Japan—that I read Faulkner Studies in Japan, an assemblage of critical essays written and translated by Japanese academics and edited by American Thomas L. McHaney, professor of literature at Georgia State University.  Whisking eagerly through the pages of this significant, insightful book, [...]]]></description>
