Why read it?
1 author picked Eveningland as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Most certainly influenced by McCullers and other great voices from the American South is Michael Knight, whose stories are steeped in their setting and its particular concerns.

From Mary's list on short story collections that leave a long and lasting impression.
