The Storied South
Voices of Writers and Artists William Ferris
Includes a CD of original interviews and a DVD of original film
The creative heart of the South
2013 288 pp., 46 halftones 978-1-4696-0754-2 $35.00 hardcover
The Storied South features the voices—by turn searching and honest, coy and scathing—of twenty-six of the most luminous artists and thinkers in the American cultural firmament, from Eudora Welty, Pete Seeger, and Alice Walker to William Eggleston, Bobby Rush, and C. Vann Woodward. Masterfully drawn from one-on-one interviews conducted by renowned folklorist William Ferris over the past forty years, the book reveals how storytelling is viscerally tied to southern identity and how the work of these southern or southern-inspired creators has shaped the way Americans think and talk about the South. “William Ferris has long reigned as the unimpeachable source of the entire southern experience. His work on southern folklore and the composition of the Encyclopedia of Southern Culture have made him both legendary and necessary. His book, The Storied South, is a love song to the South Bill helped illuminate. It’s a crowning achievement of his own storied career.” —Pat Conroy “This sweeping record of distinct southern voices captures beautifully the mood, texture, history, and inspiration of our beloved part of the world.” —John Grisham
