good southern fiction, contemporary and classic: Shelby Foote, Tom Franklin, Barry Hannah, and Faulkner, of course.

Yet she should choose the cruiseliner, indefatigably nosing not gliding through the antediluvian currents of the dark-watered sea whose undulations roll and roll into themselves again by movements recursive and impassive like the images of her echoing mind...
