Revelation Countdown

02 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

By Cris Mazza

£14.50 02 Feb 2012 Paperback The University of Alabama Press

While in many ways reaffirming the mythic dimension of being on the road already romanticized in American pop and folk culture, "Revelation Countdown" also subtly undermines that view. These stories project onto the open road not the nirvana of personal freedom but rather a type of freedom more closely resembling loss of control. Being in constant motion and passing through new environments destabilizes life, casts it out of phase, heightens perception, skews reactions. Every little problem is magnified to overwhelming dimensions; events segue from slow motion to fast forward; background noises intrude, causing perpetual weehour insomnia. Imagination flourishes, often as an enemy: people suddenly discover that they never really understood their travelling companions. The formerly stable line of their lives veers off course. In such an atmosphere, the title "Revelation Countdown", borrowed from a roadside sign in Tennessee, proves prophetic: It may not arrive at 7:30, but revelation will inevitably find the traveller.

The Oysterback Tales

26 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

By Helen Chappell

£10.50 26 Jan 2012 Paperback Johns Hopkins University Press

Once you find yourself in Oysterback, you may never want to leave. Nothing beats Desiree Grinch's corn soup at the Blue Crab Tavern. There's never a wait at The Curl Up 'N Dye Salon de Beaute. In season, you can buy your produce (as you pay your respects) at Dreedle's Funeral Parlor. There's bingo every Tuesday at the V.F.D. The Mosquito Festival is next week. And when the moon hangs over Widgeon Marsh as full and yellow as one of Miss Nettie's oyster fritters, you'll know you're in a place like no other.

Since 1988, readers of the Baltimore Sun have delighted in regular visits to Oysterback -- Helen Chappell's mythical town on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Chappell's stories capture the unique charm of rural life on the Shore, and her memorable characters typify the folksy strength and eccentricity of the natives. "In Oysterback," as the town's Captain Saloman observes, "we have characters we haven't even used yet."

A Novel of Arkansas in the 1840s

By George E. Lankford

£13.50 15 Jan 2012 Paperback Butler Centre for Arkansas Studies

Author George Lankford takes readers on a tour of 1840s Arkansas as he tries to solve the senseless killing of a boy from a good family in Batesville. More than 160 years later, the story of Nick Burton refuses to go away and the outrage of the townsfolk is still palpable. We're reminded that violent death merited headlines and fascinated the public then, just as it does today.

Who would kill such a promising young man in a quiet Arkansas town? Some believe it was a random act. Others know that Nick's father is at odds with a neighbor, who has sworn to get even. Where is the truth in this web of intrigue?

In 1836, Arkansas achieves statehood shortly before a national panic grips the entire country. The newly-created State Bank fails and the resulting crisis forms the backdrop for George Lankford's tale. Many of the people around Batesville who figure in his story are also players in the state's financial and political difficulties. Fent Nolan was a nationally known humorist as well as a lawyer and politician who lived in Batesville and represented the area in the General Assembly.

As the hunt for Nick Burton's killer continues, readers will be drawn into the social fabric of a small town and gain insight into the complexities of life in early Arkansas.

Reflecting on their relationship, Garrett conceives of a character - not unlike himself - a writer in his early 70s, ill and suffering from double vision, named Frank Toomer. He gives Toomer a neighbor, a distinguished short story writer named Aubrey Carver.

As the real George Garrett and Peter Taylor are replaced by two very different and imaginary writers, the story becomes a wise and insightful exploration of American literary life, the art of biography, the comical rivalries among writers and academics, notions of literary success, and the knotty relationship of art to life, fact to fiction, and life to death. Double Vision is a witty tour de force and an elegy for a gifted generation of American writers.
