Winner of the National Book Award for her short story collection
Victory Over Japan, Ellen Gilchrist has entertained audiences with
her vivid fictional portraits of strong women, eccentric lives, and
the difficulties of love and life. Known both for her short fiction
and her novels, Gilchrist has been awarded several honors
throughout her career, and her work continues to receive both
critical and popular acclaim. This book examines her fiction, book
by book, and offers an appreciation of her craft through a careful
analysis of the stories themselves, their critical reception, and
their lasting effect on the reader. Hooper offers the first
complete evaluation of Gilchrist's entire fiction oeuvre. Author of
such works as In the Land of Dreamy Dreams, The Annunciation, Go
Hunting with My Daddy, and several other novels and collections of
short stories, Ellen Gilchrist has transcended the bounds of
Southern writing, appealing to audiences in all corners of the
nation. Here, Hooper celebrates her fiction, focusing on the
strong, feisty female characters that populate her works, exerting
their will and independence regardless of traditional restraints on
their activities. In addition, he pays special attention to her
strengths and weaknesses as both a short fiction writer and a
novelist, arguing that while her novels may entertain, her lasting
contribution to American letters can more easily be found in her
short fiction.
