Possum and Other Receipts for the Recovery of Southern Being

Informationen zum Autor MARION MONTGOMERY was a poet, novelist, and critic who taught English at the University of Georgia for more than thirty years. His most recent books include With Walker Percy at the Tupperware Party: In Company with Flannery O'Connor, T. S. Eliot, and Others , and Hillbilly Thomist: Flannery O'Connor, St. Thomas and the Limits of Art , as well as On Matters Southern: Essays About Literature and Culture, 1964-2000 . In this volume, Marion Montgomery ponders two very different varieties of possum as the starting point for a literary, philosophical, and poetic inquiry into the nature of Southernness: the familiar marsupial and the first-person singular present of the Latin verb posse; rendered as "I am able."
