SUMMARY:Author Event: George Singleton
DESCRIPTION:Join Page 158 Books for a digital author event featuring George Singleton in conversation with Dave talking about bourbon\, possums\, and his new book YOU WANT MORE: Selected Stories. This is a digital author event hosted on our crowdcast channel.\n \n\nWith his signature darkly acerbic and sharp-witted humor\, George Singleton has built a reputation as one of the most astute and wise observers of the South. Now Tom Franklin introduces this master of the form with a compilation of acclaimed and prize-winning short fiction spanning twenty years and eight collections\, including stories originally published in outlets like the Atlantic Monthly\, Harper's\, Playboy\, the Georgia Review\, the Southern Review\, and many more. These stories bear the influence of Flannery O'Connor and Raymond Carver\, at other times Lewis Nordan and Donald Barthelme\, and touch on the mysteries of childhood\, the complexities of human relationships\, and the absurdity of everyday life\, with its inexorable defeats and small triumphs.\n \n\nGeorge Singleton has published eight collections of stories\, two novels\, and a book of writing advice. Over 200 of his stories have appeared in magazines such as the Atlantic Monthly\, Harper's\, Playboy\, the Georgia Review\, the Southern Review\, the Cincinnati Review\, and elsewhere. He is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize\, a Guggenheim fellowship\, the Hillsdale Award from the Fellowship of Southern Writers\, and the Corrington Award for Literary Excellence. He lives in Spartanburg\, SC\, where he holds the John C. Cobb Chair in Humanities at Wofford College.\n \n\nThis is a digital author event hosted on our crowdcast channel.
