Where the New World Is - Literature About the U.s. South At Global Scales

About the author

MARTYN BONE is an associate professor of American literature at the University of Copenhagen. He is author of The Postsouthern Sense of Place in Contemporary Fiction, editor of Perspectives on Barry Hannah, and coeditor of Creating and Consuming the American South.

Summary

Assesses how fiction published since 1980 resituated the U.S. South globally and how earlier twentieth-century writing already had done so in ways traditional southern literary studies tended to ignore. Bone argues that this fiction has challenged understandings of the South as a fixed place largely untouched by immigration and globalization.
