Product Description

James Still remains one of the most beloved and important writers in Appalachian literature. Best known for his acclaimed novel "River of Earth" (1940), the Alabama native and adopted Kentuckian left an enduring legacy of novels, stories, and poems during his nearly seventy year career. "The Hills Remember: The Complete Short Stories of James Still" honors the late writer by collecting all of Still's short stories, including his stories from "On Troublesome Creek" (1941), "Pattern of a Man and Other Stories" (1976), and "The Run for the Elbertas" (1980), as well as twelve prose pieces originally published as short stories and later incorporated into "River of Earth." Also included are several lesser-known stories and ten never-before-published stories. Recognized as a significant writer of short fiction in his day -- many of his stories initially appeared in "The Atlantic" and "The Saturday Evening Post "and were included in "The O. Henry Memorial Award Stories" and "The Best American Short Stories "collections -- Still's short stories, while often overshadowed in recent years by his novels and poetry, are among his most enduring literary works. Editor Ted Olson offers a reassessment of Still's short fiction within the contexts of the author's body of work and within Appalachian and American literature. Compiling all of James Still's compelling and varied short stories into one volume, "The Hills Remember" is a testament to a master writer.
