Rest In Peace: Barry Hannah (1942-2010)
On Monday Barry Hannah, southern author, died at age 67. His writing has been described as “darkly comic” and has won several awards. His first novel, Geronimo Rex, won the William Faulkner Prize and earned a National Book Award nomination. He was also awarded the Arnold Gingrich Short Fiction Award, and the Award for Literature from the American Institute of Arts and Letters for his short story collection, Airships. Another of his short story collections, High Lonesome, was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction.
Although I consider myself a southern girl, I have never read any of Mr. Hannah’s work. Have you? What did you think?
