“I don’t claim to be an expert on writing, on telling stories, but I think it must be a lot like cooking.
Here in this collection are some of the best stories, articles and poems to run in The Oxford American, by an assortment of its best writers.
Not one of them is afraid of the salt shaker.” Forward
There are more than thirty wonderful pieces of writing in this anthology. Like the Oxford American magazine, this book contains short stories, poems and essays. The subject matter includes tributes, food, religion and other subjects that are important to life in the South and the world.
I especially liked the pieces by Mark Richard, Hal Crowther, Rick Bass, Rosanne Cash and Sister Helen Prejean. Really, I enjoyed reading most of this book. It truly is some of the best writing I have encountered. If you like to read essays and/or short stories, I recommend you pick this up and spend a little time with these writers.
