Tennessee Literary Luminaries

Book excerpt: “Lively literary profiles” of famous Tennessee writers in a book with “a user-friendly approach to learning more about a mighty impressive roster” (The Dispatch). The Volunteer State has been a pioneer in southern literature for generations, giving us such literary stars as Robert Penn Warren and Cormac McCarthy. But Tennessee’s literary legacy also involves authors such as Peter Matthew Hillsman Taylor, who delayed writing his first novel but won the Pulitzer Prize upon completing it. Join author Sue Freeman Culverhouse as she explores the rich literary heritage of Tennessee through engaging profiles of its most revered citizens of letters.
