Around the South with Jim Grimsley: The Roles of Place in the Author's Southern Fiction
Original language description
The chapter explores the roles of place in Jim Grimsley’s southern fiction. The American South is much more than a mere setting in Grimsley’s fiction: While he often creates fictional places with a distinguished genius loci, by moving his characters between locations, fictional or real, Grimsley draws contrasts between various elements of southern culture, most notably class. The journeys have a therapeutic and liberating effect on the characters, yet Grimsley’s major characters never leave the South; they are deeply rooted in it. By the creative use of southern places the author thus succeeds in showing the diversity of the region, both geographical and social.
