A leading figure in modern southern literature, described by
Newsweek as "one of the best American storytellers", Peter Taylor
secured a national following through his long relationship with the
New Yorker and his widely read volumes from the 1980s, The Old
Forest and Other Stories and A Summons to Memphis. The Pulitzer
Prize -- winning author's portrayals of the battles of
strong-willed fathers and mothers with their equally strong-willed
sons are at the center of his achievement in fiction.
David Robinson presents Taylor as a writer deeply concerned with
the interworkings of family relationships, and emphasizes his role
as chronicler of the shifts in southern culture in this century.
World of Relations provides an important critical assessment of the
work of one of the South's greatest writers, and includes the first
extensive critical discussion of Taylor's last two works, The
Oracle of Stoneleigh Court (1993) and In the Tennessee Country
(1994).
