520 8 |a Larry Brown was unique among writers who started their careers in the late twentieth century. Unlike most of them - his friends Clyde Edgerton, Jill McCorkle, Rick Bass, Kaye Gibbons, among others - he was neither a product of a writing programme, nor did he teach at one. In fact, he did not even attend college. His innate talent, his immersion in the life of north Mississippi, and his determination led him to national success. Drawing on excerpts from numerous letters and material from interviews with family members and friends, this book is a biography of a landmark southern writer.
