Between 1972 and 2001, Barry Hannah (1942-2010) published eight
novels and four collections of short stories. A master of short
fiction, Hannah is considered by many to be one of the most
important writers of modern American literature. His writing is
often praised more for its unflinching use of language, rich
metaphors, and tragically damaged characters than for plot. ""I am
doomed to be a more lengthy fragmentist,"" he once claimed. ""In my
thoughts, I don't ever come on to plot in a straightforward
way.""Conversations with Barry Hannah collects interviews published
between 1980 and 2010. Within them Hannah engages interviewers in
discussions on war and violence, masculinity, religious faith,
abandoned and unfinished writing projects, the modern South and his
time spent away from it, the South's obsession with defeat, the
value of teaching writing, and post-Faulknerian literature. Despite
his rejection of the label ""southern writer,"" Hannah's work has
often been compared to that of fellow Mississippian William
Faulkner, particularly for each author's use of dark humor and the
Southern Gothic tradition in their work. Notwithstanding these
comparisons, Hannah's voice is distinctly and undeniably his own, a
linguistic tour de force.
