A definitive, career-spanning, best-of tribute to a master of the modern American short story, featuring work from his final unpublished collection.
A fitting summation of one of America's greatest short story masters, this towering tribute features stories from Airships, Captain Maximus, Bats Out of Hell, High Lonesome, and Barry Hannah's final unfinished collection, Long, Last, Happy.
The astonishingly varied stories in this collection span nearly five decades of unremitting brilliance.
Hannah's ferocious, glittering prose and sui generis worldview introduced readers to a literary New South—a fictional landscape that encompasses women, God, lust, race, nature, gay Confederates, good old boys, bad old boys, guns, animals, fishing, fighting, cars, pestilence, surrealism, gritty realism, the future, and the past . . . tossed together in glorious juxtapositions.
Long, Last, Happy confirms Barry Hannah as one of our most brilliant voices.
