New stories by Robert Gipe, Minrose Gwin, Odie Lindsey, Mesha Maren, Julia Ridley Smith, and Crystal Wilkinson. Plus: Grit Lit and authenticity, Padgett Powell's queer rednecks, Monique Truong's challenges to southern authority and subjectivity, Daniel Wallace's lesser-known 21st-century authors, and a Round Table discussion that finally lays that dead mule of southern lit to rest. Guest edited by Patrick Horn.
