I Hate To See That Evening Sun Go Down : Collected Stories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)William Gay's stories woven from the fabric of rural Tennessee depict flawed Southerners trapped by wrong decisions, yet his writing embraces the reader with a visual landscape blending the natural terrain with tormented souls. I discovered his fiction first in the Oxford American, then read with enthusiasm his novels The Long Home and Provinces of Night, finding from them an honest storyteller who appreciates the older, traditonal elements of good fiction--placing the reader in the bosum of nature and delving into the soul of unique characterization. You find yourself wanting more, trapped by his engaging style, straight-forward dialogue and prose about country-bled commonfolk as clear to the ear and the eye as a Tennessee morning and as absorbing as the frozen blue ridges. He has a way of mystery that feeds the imagination and you feel the torment in the underbrush of stories that ring in your head long after finishing the last paragraph.--Jesse Earle Bowden, author of Look and Tremble: A novel of West Florida and Always the Rivers Flow.
