A New Life: Stories and Photographs
from the Suburban SouthEdited by Alex Harris with Alice Rose George
Our notion of the South is turned on its head in this new and startling collection. Recent stories by Richard Bausch, Bobbie Ann Mason, and Robert Olen Butler, among others, are coupled with extraordinary
photographic essays including work by Mark Steinmetz, Mitch Epstein, and Margaret Sartor. Together they cover the broad geographical and emotional territory of the contemporary South.
One of "The Best Books of 1996"-Los Angeles Times
"The interplay of words and pictures-truth and fiction-is at once comic, revealing, and vibrant, recording a determined effort to reimagine the South. Recommended."-Library Journal
