"Recognized with a PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in short fiction, Barry Hannah was a master of the American short story. He was also one of the most important writers of the South's post-Faulkner generation, introducing a world in which Mississippi pier fisherman, small-town prevaricators, and veterans of American wars--Civil, Vietnam, and Gulf--met a mythic, mold-breaking voice with echoes of Beckett, bebop, and the Bible. He has paved the way for a new generation of young writers, and his death in March 2010 remains an irrevocable loss to American letters. [] Now, combining the best of the four story collections he published during his lifetime, four new stories from the final manuscripts he left behind, and one early-career story never published in volume form, LONG, LAST, HAPPY is a feast for readers new and old. Here, a man's estranged wife buzzes his house in her airplane, and a tailgate party can turn suddenly Biblical. The Confederate corporal in love with his general, the retired surgeon turning canine, the teenage boy rebelling against the 'gloomy John Birch literature' of his surroundings, who ends up looking after an eccentric, beautiful lush--Hannah's characters occupy the intersection of heartbreak and surreal comedy. In his last works, set in a Mississippi college town terrorized by mysterious arson, the ghosts of history and devilments of love, lust, and drink walk the streets. Throughout, his ferocious, glittering prose maps a literary New South--a fictional landscape burning with racial unease, sex, love, hell-raising, and a deep devotion to the art of storytelling. [] The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has called Hannah a 'mendacity-battling Colossus.' LONG, LAST, HAPPY serves as the definitive collection of Hannah's finest short fiction and confirms that he was one our most brilliant voices until the very end." [jacket copy] "Starred Review. This posthumous collection includes four new stories and shows why Hannah's regarded as one of the best. Hannah's wit is caustic, shot through with social commentary and gleefully interspersed with bursts of slapstick comedy. One of his best-known early stories, 'Mother Rooney Unscrolls the Hurt,' still holds up more than 30 years later, with the landlady in her dilapidated house, lying crumpled at the bottom of the stairs. Hannah easily links themes, characters, and places--particularly his longtime home of Oxford, Miss., and its flagship school, Ole Miss--without drawing unnecessary attention to connections. The new stories--'Fire Water,' 'Sick Soldier at Your Door,' 'Lastward, Deputy James,' and 'Out-tell the Teller'--can be read as a set of interlocking narratives, each presenting a different angle on a series of arson attacks on small churches. The subject matter may be serious, but Hannah never abandons his sly grin---just as he was able to shift, mid-story, between boyhood hijinks and the looming threat of Vietnam in 'Testimony of Pilot.' This collection reminds that Hannah, even in death, will always be 'on the black and chrome Triumph, riding right into your face."--Publishers Weekly. "Barry Hannah's was a voice so original and so enduring as to be a permanent reference for anyone wanting to know how much can possibly be done with the American language."--Thomas McGuane. "[Hannah] is brilliantly drunk with words, and could at gunpoint write the life story of a telephone pole."--Jim Harrison. Hardcover As New w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, some slight crinkling on top of spine & jacket, which is intact, NF & brightly wrapped in archival mylar & covers the nice-surprise embossed-facsimile signature of Barry Hannah on the front board. Quite presentable.…
