Robertson, Ben (General Editor), Stephen Cooper, Kirk Curnutt, Albert Glover, Noel Harold Kaylor, Jr., Richard Scott Nokes, and William Thompson, eds. Conflict in Southern Writing. Troy, AL: Association for Textual Study and Production, 2006. Conflict in Southern Writing is an edited collection of twenty essays and five interviews that deal with themes of conflict in literature of the American South. This book is a proceedings volume that resulted from the Conflict in Southern Writing Conference, held at Troy University in Montgomery, Alabama, in September of 2004. This book includes an essay of mine on Red Hills and Cotton, a memoir written by South Carolina writer Ben Robertson (who's not related to me, as far as I know), and an interview I conducted with Betty Winston Bayé, a columnist and novelist who now lives in Kentucky. Also included is a brief introduction on which Richard Scott Nokes and I collaborated.
