The New Mind of the South
Thompson, a Georgia native, asserts that the South has drawn on its oldest tradition: an ability to adapt and transform itself. She spent years traveling through the region and discovered a South both amazingly similar and radically different from the land she knew as a child. The new South is ahead of others in absorbing waves of Latino immigrants, in rediscovering its agrarian traditions, in seeking racial reconciliation, and in reinventing what it means to have roots in an increasingly rootless global culture.

Picture Business
Los Angeles past and present is the focus of this accomplished, entertaining collection of short stories, poems and essays. Among the unforgettable characters are a faded actress planning a media hoax, a would-be entertainment mogul, a young Midwest widow in love with Dean Martin, an ambitious newscaster, a cranky film director and a pigeon who doubles as a talent agent. The comically bizarre settings include a Las Vegas coffee shop, a university department devoted to Marilyn Monroe studies, a junior high science fair and a swimming raft off the coast of Malibu. Varied in tone and theme, the pieces are linked by an unfailing eye for detail and a fondness for the absurd. This is a Los Angeles, according to the introduction, of “dreamers, hustlers, artists, visionaries, eccentrics and a considerable number of ordinary working people who have come west to reinvent themselves.”
