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. The Storied South offers a unique, intimate
opportunity to sit at the table with these men and women and
learn how they worked and how they perceived their art. The
volume also features 45 of Ferris's striking photographic
portraits of the speakers and a CD and a DVD of original
audio and films of the interviews.
