Local Souls
Allan Gurganus
**"This book underscores what we have long known-Gurganus stands among the best writers of our time." -Ann Patchett**
Through memorable language and bawdy humor, Gurganus returns to his mythological Falls, North Carolina, home of *Widow*. This first work in a decade offers three novellas mirroring today's face-lifted South, a zone revolutionized around freer sexuality, looser family ties, and superior telecommunications, yet it celebrates those locals who have chosen to stay local. In doing so, *Local Souls* uncovers certain old habits-adultery, incest, obsession-still very much alive in our New South, a "Winesburg, Ohio" with high-speed Internet.
