Thurs., Dec. 3, 5 – 7 pm, George Singleton will sign copies of his newest collection of short stories, Calloustown (Dzanc Books, pb., $15.95).
Calloustown, the seventh collection from the master raconteur of southern short fiction, who’s been praised by the Atlanta Journal Constitution as the “unchallenged king of the comic Southern short story,” finds the author at the top of his game as he traces the unlikely inhabitants of the fictional Calloustown in all their humanity. Whether exploring family, religion, politics, or the true meaning of home, these stories range from deeply affecting to wildly absurd and back again in the blink of an eye.
George Singleton has published seven collections of stories, two novels, and a book of non-fiction. He was inducted into the Fellowship of Southern Writers in 2015. He holds the John C. Cobb Endowed Chair in the Humanities at Wofford College, and lives in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
