Literature, life, art, love, yearning, the mind, brothels, dinners, celebrities, fashion, aesthetics, cookies, insomnia, the beach, France, mothers, the theater, obsession, flowers, and memory--to name just a few--are perfectly captured here.

Description
This omnibus volume by one of the South's greatest writers includes stories published prior to 1980.

More, he had been able...
