Not So Fast: An Anthology of Southern Literature and Humor

by Lily Wilson (Editor), Mandy Haynes (Contributor), Pat Hebert (Contributor)

A woman learns cocktail party chitchat shouldn’t include the story of her grandmother breastfeeding a piglet. A beach singer who spins cover songs into one-night stands makes his move at the wrong time, in the wrong place. A bumbling soft drink executive and his Molotov cocktail-wielding investment banker have one last chance to save the family business. Nashville writers slap dueling gloves to the myths of the American South, resulting in sometimes pensive, sometimes exuberant tales, where mud becomes miracle, Yankees learn to turn tin, and the Devil drives a hard bargain rather than make good on his soul return policy. If you thought you knew everything about Southern literature, well, Not So Fast.

The Nashville Writers Meetup Group is proud to present stories by Kathleen Cosgrove, Mandy Haynes, Pat Hebert, Ann Hutchinson, Gary Jenkins, Bob Mangeot, Cynthia Minor, Charlotte Munoz, Dave Norem, Jonathan Hart Price, Ella Evans Buntin and Sharon Walker.
