Around the South with Jim Grimsley: The Roles of Place in the Author's Southern Fiction

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

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.
