Winner of the PEN/Malamud Award, Airships is a “strong, original, tragic and funny” story collection of “the creative Southern tradition” (Alfred Kazin).
One of the most revered short story collections of the past fifty years, Airships remains a vital text in the history of the American short story. The award-winning contemporary classic features twenty wildly original, exuberant, often hilarious stories that celebrate the universal peculiarities of the new American South—a land of high school band contests where good old boys from Vicksburg are reunited in Vietnam, and petty nostalgia and the incessant pain of disappointed love prevail in spite of our worst efforts.
Hailed by none other than Larry McMurtry as “the best young writer to appear in the South since Flannery O’Connor, ” Barry Hannah’s immense storytelling gifts are on striking display in this essential work.
“Hannah takes fiction by surprise—scenes, shocks, sounds and amazements: an explosive but meticulous originality. ” —Cynthia Ozick
