Body Parts: Stories by Jere Hoar, ISBN 1578060192
Rollicking, Original Fiction with a Southern Accent
Compressing work between two covers produces a resounding impact. Described by one reader as a collection of "little disturbances," Body Parts brings together Jere Hoar's award-winning, phantas-magorical stories. Together and individually, they cause delight. All are set in the South. They are. in fact. stories that could have taken place nowhere else.
Consider the titles alone and you will know you are entering a world measured by a wicked eye and ear. In "Tell Me It Hasn't Come to This" a lonely woman spends her days waving to strangers who pass her house. Then one of them, a man with a purpose, raps on her door. In "The Incredible Little Louisiana Chicken Killer" a hungry little creature raids the hen house of a childless Louisiana couple. They capture it and take it into their home, only to discover that it is a man-devil.
In a folk tale with an epic swagger -- "The Snopes Who Saved Huckaby" -- a distant kinsman of Faulkner's tribe is forced out of the ministry by sins of the flesh. He finds refuge in a girls' school, where abundant temptation causes him to horse-trade with God.
Praise for the stories conveys their power and originality: "I could not put them down because of the pleasure of the lines," says the story writer Moira Crone. "I never knew what word or line I was going to be reading next." "This writer," Ernest Gaines says, "reminds me of Damon Runyon and Erskine Caldwell for his sundry of characters, and Caldwell for realism and earthy humor." Fred Chappel says, "'...Chicken Killer' makes me smile every time I think about it."
Allan Gurganus found the heart of the Snopes story: "Here is a lie, a tale, a rumor, a cheap laugh and a hard lesson," he says. "In prose that can become at times as elegantly irreverent as the rootiest folktale of Marse Faulkner himself we find that least likely job description, a Snopes teaching at a girls' finishing school.
What a Deal! the Louisiana Purchase
The land seemed endless. It was dirt cheap. It was a deal too good to be true! But it was true! And today, the heartland of America is what is because President Jefferson knew a good deal when he saw one.

Kiss Me Like You Mean It by Chris Chibnall, ISBN 1840022361
A party is taking place in a shabby Victorian terrace house on a hot midsummer's night in Manchester. In the back garden Tony and Ruth meet, thanks to a stolen can of beer.

Cheap Rooms and Restless Hearts: A Study of Formula in the Urban Tales of William Sydney Porter
This book provides close look at the predominant character types and plot patterns found in the urban stories of William Sydney Porter (more familiarly known as O. Henry), analyzing how these elements structure his tales and contribute to his popular formulas. Blansfield also examines Porter's adventurous but troubled background--as a ranch hand, cowboy, bank teller, journalist, prisoner, fugitive, and more--to see how his own experience shaped these aspects of his fiction. The book considers how the bustling, turbulent conditions of New York City at the turn of the century helped to launch Porter's [O. Henry's] meteoric career.
