  1. Latest read, Lily Daw and the Three Ladies (1941) from The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty. Simple-minded Lily Daw wants to marry a xylophone player she met at the carnival the night before but three morally upright, civic-minded women want to put a stop to that.
    You can smell the magnolia and feel the sun in Welty's southern tales.
    Measured, immaculate, sly storytelling.

  10. #Question: If you were to assign or recommend one #book about/from the US #South, what would it be and why? Asking partially out of curiosity and partially to get the wheels turning for a syllabus.

  15. Hi, Mastodon folks – my name is Ethan.

    I live in Brooklyn, NY. I’m an English professor at The King’s College, where I teach all kinds of writing and literature, from Shakespeare to Russian novels to Southern lit. Most of my published writing is about medieval literature, namely from 14th-century England (Chaucer, the Gawain-Poet, John Wyclif, etc.). I also like to write fiction.

    It's Christmastime, so it is time for my favorite, "A Southern Night Before Christmas," by Kelly Kazek. "Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, We were sticky and sweaty 'cause this is the South." Y'all enjoy, and Merry Christmas!!

  20. My current big project is looking at references to/depictions of abortion in pre-Roe southern literature. I'm finding it esp difficult to find info about abortion in the pre-Roe South. I appreciate any suggestions for resources/sources. #SouthernLit #abortion
