pokkari
Larry Brown (1951–2004) was unique among writers who started their careers in the late twentieth century. Unlike most of them—his friends Clyde Edgerton, Jill McCorkle, Rick Bass, and Kaye Gibbons, among others—he was neither a product of a writing program, nor did he teach at one. In fact, he did not even attend college. His innate talent, his immersion in the life of north Mississippi, and his determination led him to national success. Drawing on excerpts from numerous letters and material from interviews with family members and friends, Larry Brown: A Writer's Life is the first biography of a landmark southern writer. Jean W. Cash explores the cultural milieu of Oxford, Mississippi, and the writers who influenced Brown, including William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Harry Crews, and Cormac McCarthy. She covers Brown's history in Mississippi, the troubled family in which he grew up, and his boyhood in Tula and Yocona, Mississippi, and in Memphis, Tennessee. She relates stories from Brown's time in the Marines, his early married life—which included sixteen years as an Oxford fireman—and what he called his ""apprenticeship"" period, the eight years during which he was teaching himself to write publishable fiction. The book examines Brown's years as a writer: the stories and novels he wrote, his struggles to acclimate himself to the fame his writing brought him, and his many trips outside Yocona, where he spent the last thirty years of his life. The book concludes with a discussion of his posthumous fame, including the publication of A Miracle of Catfish, the novel he had nearly completed just before his death. Brown's cadre of fans will relish this comprehensive portrait of the man and his work.

Larry Brown and the Blue-Collar South

Larry Brown and the Blue-Collar South

With contributions from Robert G. Barrier, Robert Beuka, Thomas Ærvold Bjerre, Jean W. Cash, Robert Donahoo, Richard Gaughran, Gary Hawkins, Darlin' Neal, Keith Perry, Katherine Powell, John A. Staunton, and Jay Watson Larry Brown is noted for his subjects--rural life, poverty, war, and the working class--and his spare, gritty style. Brown's oeuvre spans several genres and includes acclaimed novels (Dirty Work, Joe, Father and Son, The Rabbit Factory, and A Miracle of Catfish), short story collections (Facing the Music, Big Bad Love), memoir (On Fire), and essay collections (Billy Ray's Farm). At the time of his death, Brown (1951-2004) was considered to be one of the finest exemplars of minimalist, raw writing of the contemporary South. Larry Brown and the Blue-Collar South considers the writer's full body of work, placing it in the contexts of southern literature, Mississippi writing, and literary work about the working class. Collectively, the essays explore such subjects as Brown's treatment of class politics, race and racism, the aftereffects of the Vietnam War on American culture, the evolution of the South from a plantation-based economy to a postindustrial one, and male-female relations. The role of Brown's mentors--Ellen Douglas and Barry Hannah--in shaping his work is discussed, as is Brown's connection to such writers as Harry Crews and Dorothy Allison. The volume is one of the first critical studies of a writer whose depth and influence mark him as one of the most well-regarded Mississippi authors. Jean W. Cash is professor of English at James Madison University. She is the author of Flannery O'Connor: A Life. Keith Perry is associate professor of English at Dalton State College and the author of The Kingfish in Fiction: Huey P. Long and the Modern American Novel. Rick Bass is the author of novels and collections of nonfiction and short stories, most recently The Lives of Rocks: Stories.

Conversations with Larry Brown

Conversations with Larry Brown

University Press of Mississippi
2007
nidottu
In a fifteen-year period beginning in 1988, Mississippi native Larry Brown (1951-2004) published two collections of short stories, five novels, a memoir, and two collections of essays. Two of his novels, Joe and Father and Son, won the Southern Book Critics Circle Award for fiction. Brown wrote with compassion, humor, and unflinching honesty about the struggles of rural and small-town working-class southerners. Twenty-nine years old when his writing career began, Brown's plainspoken style, sharp eye for detail, and keen ear for dialogue quickly established him as one of the most respected and compelling new voices in contemporary southern literature. Conversations with Larry Brown brings together interviews Brown gave between 1988 and 2004. The collection includes interview material from a full-length film documentary about Brown's life and work as well as two previously unpublished pieces. Across these conversations, Brown offers insights into all of his books and several of his short stories. Jay Watson is professor of English at the University of Mississippi and the author of Forensic Fictions: The Lawyer Figure in Faulkner..

The Rabbit Factory

The Rabbit Factory

Larry Brown

Simon and Schuster
2004
pokkari
In an ambitious narrative structure reminiscent of Robert Altman's classic film Nashville, Larry Brown weaves together the stories of a sprawling cast of eccentric and lovable characters, each embarked on a quest for meaning, fulfillment, and love -- with poignant and uproarious results. Set in Memphis and North Mississippi, The Rabbit Factory follows the colliding lives of, among others, Arthur, an older, socially ill-at-ease man of considerable wealth married to the much younger Helen, whose desperate need for satisfaction sweeps her into the arms of other men; Eric, who has run away from home thinking his father doesn't want him and becomes Arthur's unlikely surrogate son; and Anjalee, a big-hearted prostitute with her own set of troubles who crashes into the lives of the others like a one-woman hurricane. Teeming with pitch-perfect creations that include quirky gangsters, colorful locals, seemingly straitlaced professors, and fast-and-loose police officers, Brown's spellbinding and often hilarious story is about the botched choices and missed chances that separate people -- and the tenuous threads of love and coincidence that connect them. With all the subtlety and surprise of life itself, the story turns on a dime from comical to violent to moving. Masterful, profound, and full of spirit, The Rabbit Factory is literary entertainment of the highest order

Facing the Music

Facing the Music

Larry Brown

Algonquin Books
1996
nidottu
Facing the Music, Larry Brown's first book, was originally published in 1988 to wide critical acclaim. As the St. Petersburg Times review pointed out, the central theme of these ten stories "is the ageless collision of man with woman, woman with man--with the frequent introduction of that other familiar couple, drinking and violence. Most often ugly, love is nevertheless graceful, however desperate the situation." There's some glare from the brutally bright light Larry Brown shines on his subjects. This is the work of a writer unafraid to gaze directly at characters challenged by crisis and pathology. But for readers who are willing to look, unblinkingly, along with the writer, there are unusual rewards.

"Brilliant . . . Larry Brown has slapped his own fresh tattoo on the big right arm of Southern Lit." --The Washington Post Book World Now a major motion picture starring Nicolas Cage, directed by David Gordon Green. Joe Ransom is a hard-drinking ex-con pushing fifty who just won't slow down--not in his pickup, not with a gun, and certainly not with women. Gary Jones estimates his own age to be about fifteen. Born luckless, he is the son of a hopeless, homeless wandering family, and he's desperate for a way out. When their paths cross, Joe offers him a chance just as his own chances have dwindled to almost nothing. Together they follow a twisting map to redemption--or ruin.

NOW WITH A FOREWORD BY RON RASH AND AN APPRECIATION BY DWIGHT GARNER“One of the finest books I know about blue-collar work in America, its rewards and frustrations . . . If you are among the tens of millions who have never read Brown, this is a perfect introduction.” —Dwight Garner, The New York Times On January 6, 1990, after seventeen years on the job, Larry Brown quit the Oxford, Mississippi, fire department to try writing full-time. In On Fire, he looks back on his life as a firefighter. His unflinching accounts of daily trauma—from the blistering heat of burning trailer homes to the crunch of broken glass at crash scenes—catapult readers into the hard reality that drove this award-winning novelist. As a firefighter and fireman-turned-author, as husband and hunter, and as father and son, Brown offers insights into the choices men face pursuing their life’s work. And, in the forthright style we expect from Larry Brown, his narrative builds to the explanation of how one man who regularly confronted death began to burn with the desire to write about life.

"Larry Brown wrote the way the best singers sing: with honesty, grit, and the kind of raw emotion that stabs you right in the heart. He was a singular American treasure." —Tim McGrawA career-spanning collection, Tiny Love brings together for the first time the stories of Larry Brown’s previous collections along with those never before gathered. The self-taught Brown has long had a cult following, and this collection comes with an intimate and heartfelt appreciation by novelist Jonathan Miles. We see Brown's early forays into genre fiction and the horror story, then develop his fictional gaze closer to home, on the people and landscapes of Lafayette County, Mississippi. And what’s astonishing here is the odyssey these stories chart: Brown’s self-education as a writer and the incredible artistic journey he navigated from “Plant Growin’ Problems” to “A Roadside Resurrection.” This is the whole of Larry Brown, the arc laid bare, both an amazing story collection and the fullest portrait we’ll see of one of the South’s most singular artists.

“Gnistrar av smärta och alkohol, den här hudlösa och grovkorniga romanen kan tveklöst ställas sida vid sida med det bästa och mest hårdslående hos Jim Thompson och Harry Crews. Den är tajt, otäck, och originell." ? Kirkus Reviews“En obönhörlig, ofta rolig roman med en kärna lika mörk som deltanatten.” ? Entertainment Weekly“Kräver att bli läst, omläst, omtalad, och avnjuten.” ? Booklist“Larry Brown är på väg att etablera sig som en av de mest autentiska litterära rösterna i vår generation… Det är en röst lika sann som ett vapenställ, opretentiös och okorrumperad, full av kvickhet och sorg.” ? Baltimore Evening SunJoe Ransom, kåkfarare, ex-make, suput, närmar sig femtio men har inga planer på att varva ner — vare sig det gäller kvinnor, alkohol, vapen eller hastigheten med vilken han färdas i sin nedgångna pickup längs Mississippis vindlande grusvägar. Gary Jones uppskattar sin egen ålder till omkring femton år. Född in i en hopplös, hemlös, kringflackande familj söker han förtvivlat efter utväg.När deras vägar korsas erbjuder Joe honom en chans just som hans egna är på väg att för evigt gå förlorade. Det handlar om återuppståndelse eller undergång.Larry Brown föddes 1951 i Oxford, Mississippi. Han skrev både skönlitteratur och sakprosa, nio böcker allt som allt. Han tog examen från high school i Oxford men gick inte på college. Mellan 1970 och 1972 tjänstgjorde han i Amerikanska marinkåren. Efter sin återkomst till Oxford arbetade han på ett litet spisföretag innan han anslöt sig till stadens brandkår. Som ivrig läsare började Brown skriva på sin fritid medan han arbetade som brandman i Oxford år 1980.Brown har tilldelats en mängd litterära priser, bland annat Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters för skönlitteratur, Lila Wallace-Readers Digest Award och Thomas Wolfe Award. Han blev den första tvåfaldiga vinnaren av Southern Book Award for Fiction, som han vann 1992 för romanen Joe och igen 1997 för romanen Father and Son. År 2000 tilldelade delstaten Mississippi honom en Governor's Award For Excellence in the Arts.Brown avled i en hjärtattack i sitt hem i Yocona, nära Oxford, Mississippi i november 2004. Han blev 53 år.Initierat efterord av Cleanth Brooks.Fler röster röster om Joe:“Litteratur av högsta klass… Ett kraftigt nät spunnet av en säker, tålmodig hand… Hans karaktärer bara är. De påminner om familjen Joad i John Steinbecks Vredens druvor och bilderna och människorna i James Agees och Walker Evans Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Det är en nogräknad, kraftfull, vacker frammaning av en plats, en tid, ett folk. Det är en bok som kommer att bestå.” ? Detroit Free Press“Självlysande prosa härdad av kvickhet.” ?The New York Times Book Review“Kärnfull och lyrisk.” ? Los Angeles Times “Med denna mäktiga roman om det lortfattiga Mississippi… kommer Brown till sin fulla rätt och belyser sina karaktärers smärtsamma liv med medkänsla och vältalighet.” ? Publishers Weekly“Siktar mot strupen… Smärtsamt ärlig… En fokuserad, driven berättelse.”? Chicago Sun-Times“Mästerlig… Det finns inte en dålig mening i den här boken. Joe är tuffare än en natt i en finka i Georgia.” ? The Kansas City Star“Browns röst är tillräckligt utmärkande för att det ska bli omöjligt att förväxla den med någon annan författare… Vad han än skriver kommer jag läsa.” ? Harry Crews“Frambringar en egendomlig och övertygande skönhet… Fyller en med vällust, bävan, och sorg.” ? The Memphis Commercial Appeal“Det finns mycket att gilla och beundra i Joe… Det är ingen liten bedrift Brown utför när han visar oss att ondskan kan underhålla… att djävulen kan få oss att skratta.” ? Los Angeles Times“En tragisk, fängslande ny roman.” ? The Associated Press“Lysande… Larry Brown har smackat på sin alldeles egna färska tatuering på den litterära Söderns stora högerarm.” ? The Washington Post Book World“Brown har släppt lös all sin hantverkskicklighet i den här berättelsen.” ? The Denver Post“Joe förskräcker, stöter bort, men fascinerar i slutändan… Larry Brown är en författare vars språk och fantasi bildar motvikt till det allra värsta livet har att erbjuda; en romanförfattare med ovanlig kraft.” ? William Kennedy, författare till Järngräs

Addressing both renowned theories and standard applications, Stories of Life in the Workplace explains how stories affect human practices and organizational life. Authors Larry Browning and George H. Morris explore how we experience, interpret, and personalize narrative stories in our everyday lives, and how these communicative acts impact our social aims and interactions. In pushing the boundaries of how we perceive narrative and organization, the authors include stories that are broadly applicable across all concepts and experiences.With a perception of narrative and its organizational application, chapters focus on areas such as pedagogy, therapy, project management, strategic planning, public communication, and organizational culture. Readers will learn to: differentiate and gain an in-depth understanding of perspectives from varying narrators; recognize how stories are constructed and used in organizations, and modify the stories they tell; view stories as a means to promote an open exchange of creativity. By integrating a range of theories and practices, Browning and Morris write for an audience of narrative novices and scholars alike. With a distinctive approach and original insight, Stories of Life in the Workplace shows how individuality, developing culture, and the psychology of the self are constructed with language—and how the acceptance of one’s self is accomplished by reaffirming and rearranging one’s story.
