A short story collection from a South Carolina author. Most of the stories are set in SC too. I'm headed to the SC Writer's Workshop in October, and Singleton is one of the faculty, so I'm doing my homework, so to speak.
Singleton is the master of the non-sequitur, in both dialog and narrative. That's his style, and you don't have to read far to encounter it. The stories challenge the reader to keep track of what is going on and what the characters are talking about, but that's part of their charm.
Southern topics, southern characters, and a creative imagination make these stories well worth a read.
