The Christ-Haunted Landscape
A series of excerpts and interviews with 12 Southern writers focusing on the subject of the influence of religious/Christian faith on their writing/as subject.
I dipped into this over a period of weeks and grew to like it as a whole. I'd read some of the writers before, some I had resisted and was curious about others. The excerpts were interesting selections for the most part -- the interviews were pretty interesting though I felt the interviewer had a tendency to fawn over the writers. Frankly, I could have used more indepth interviewing even at the expense of the writing samples.
A number of highlights but the rambling, free associating responses of Harry Crews were tops for me. The book is listed at $35.00 on Amazon - which I'd never pay and wouldn't recommend at that price. But a good read. After reading the interview, I'm inclined to give Lee Smith another try.
