Downhome: An Anthology

Downhome speaks through the fiction of these Southern women writers, whether it is embraced or used ironically. Combining 21 stories into seven sections, Mee introduces each group of stories and then lets the authors reveal aspects of the South from their own female point of view. Contributors include Eudora Welty, Nora Zeale Hurston, Doris Betts, Elizabeth Cox and many others.
