Product info
<p>Accomplished South Carolina storyteller George Singleton has been called the unchallenged king of the comic southern short story by the <i>Atlanta Journal-Constitution, </i> a breakthrough writer you need to know by <i>Book</i> magazine, and a big-hearted evil genius who writes as if he were the love child of Alice Munro and Strom Thurman by novelist Tony Earley. Singleton's third collection <i>Why Dogs Chase Cars</i> comprises fourteen uproarious short stories about Mendal Dawes, a young boy coming of age in the backwoods town of Forty-Five, South Carolina, and coming to terms with his eccentric but well-intentioned father. Singleton writes in an earnest and consistently comic voice as he skillfully navigates themes of race, class, family, and southern heritage. In his vision of the small-town South, where the gene pool [is] so shallow that it wouldn't take a Dr. Scholl's insert to keep one's sole dry, cynicism ultimately gives way to empathy and an understanding of the empowering ties that always bind one to home and family. </p><p>This Southern Revivals edition includes a new introduction by Singleton himself, as well as a previously unpublished story, Poetry, and an expanded ending to The Earth Rotates This Way, the final piece in the collection.
