Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Airships by Barry Hannah is an exploration of the American South through 20 short stories.
What Lisa Taddeo Says: “The stories in this collection are a vivid celebration of the new American South – of high-school band contests where boys from Vicksburg are reunited in Vietnam, and the pain of thwarted love abounds. This is a remarkable demonstration of Hannah’s established and unique genius.”
What They Say: “Barry Hannah is an original and one of the most consistently exciting writers of the post-Faulkner generation. The stories in Airships are fiercely imagined fables in which hilarity and pain achieve a remarkable equipoise; sometimes funny, often terrifying, they are told in a captivating and unforgettable voice” – William Styron, Salon
