Description:
A new collection of stories from celebrated Kentucky author Gurney Norman
"A beautiful book" ... "A remarkable, eye-opening set of stories" ... "Brilliantly arranged" ... "An exhilarating mirroring of consciousness itself" ... "Grand and important, funny and heartbreaking" ... "An act of grace"
Allegiance is a brilliant and original set of stories by former Kentucky Poet Laureate Gurney Norman. Spanning forty years of work, Allegiance is an autobiography told through stories--a rich personal journey into Norman's life, place, and consciousness. In classic short stories, lyrical meditations, folktales, dreamscapes, and stream-of-consciousness writing, Norman imaginatively weaves together the threads of his life. Each story builds on what has come before, "prisms enlarging the effect of the whole ..." The stories are humorous and heartbreaking, told mainly in the voice of Norman's fictional narrator, Wilgus Collier. From his working-class childhood in the coalfields of Appalachia to the center of the 1960s counterculture and back again to Kentucky, Norman's journey has been a life of many movements. This is a jacketed hardcover edition of Allegiance, featuring a foreword by poet Leatha Kendrick, an author's note, and an original cover painting by Appalachian artist Pam Oldfield Meade. A selection of nonfiction pieces comprises the book's epilogue.
