Since his award-winning debut collection of stories, Last Days of
the Dog-Men, Brad Watson has been expanding the literary traditions
of the South in work as melancholy, witty, strange, and lovely as
any in America. Drawing on the true story of his great-aunt, he
explores the life of Miss Jane Chisolm, born in rural,
early-twentieth-century Mississippi with a genital birth defect
that excludes her from the roles traditional for a woman of her
time and place and frees her to live her life as she pleases. With
irrepressible vitality and generosity of spirit, Miss Jane
mesmerizes those around her, exerting an unearthly fascination that
lives beyond her still.
