Product Information

Best known as the author of the acclaimed novel River of Earth (1940), Alabama native and adopted Kentuckian James Still remains one of the most critically important writers of Appalachian literature. The University Press of Kentucky has long been the publisher of his work, beginning in 1980 with the reissue of River of Earth and the publication of his final story collection, The Run for the Elbertas. The Press also played a key role in the final flourishing of Still's career in the 1980s and 90s, when he published several works, ranging from children's books to a collection of folktales, and became the acknowledged "Dean of Appalachian Literature." In 2001, just after Still's death, the Press issued From the Mountain, From the Valley: New and Collected Poems, edited by Ted Olson, which was met with critical acclaim and strong sales. Now, Ted Olson proposes to collect Still's short stories, including those from the three major collections, On Troublesome Creek (1941), Pattern of a Man and Other Stories (1976), and The Run for the Elbertas (1980), as well as uncollected and littleknown works. Although Still was recognized as an important short story writer in his day-many stories initially appeared in such publications as The Atlantic and The Saturday Evening Post and were included in Best American Short Stories and O Henry Prize collections-the stories have been overshadowed by Still's betterknown work. Olson's proposed introduction will offer a complete reassessment of the stories, placing them in the context of Appalachian literature, Still's own body of work, and the work of other notable short stories writers of the period. The Collected Stories of James Still is an essential addition to UPK's list in Appalachian studies and regional literature and will spark renewed interest in the fiction of this beloved Kentucky writer. Ted Olson is associate professor of Appalachian Studies and English at East Tennessee Sate University. He is the editor of From the Mountain, From the Valley: New and Collected Poems of James Still (UPK), and coeditor of James Still: Critical Essays on the Dean of Appalachian Literature (McFarland) and The Bristol Sessions: Writings about the Big Bang of Country Music (McFarland).

""Still's stories are among the best written by an American author. They are powerful, compact, and enriched by striking resonant language."-- Ashland Daily Independent " --, ""Still's stories are among the best written by an American author. They are powerful, compact, and enriched by striking resonant language."--Ashland Daily Independent" --, A must read for anyone who is 'from here' or that has embraced the Appalachian mountain region as their own. We will learn more about ourselves than we knew and will be the better for having done so., "Indeed, Olson's collection of Still's work is complete, but it is so much more than that--it is a tribute to one of Kentucky's finest writing minds, and in particular a showcase for how the "Dean of Appalachian Literature" arrived at a level to which so many aspire." -- H-Net Kentucky, ""In this landmark book, Ted Olson favorably compares Still's short fiction to the work of Poe, Hawthorne, Hemingway, Welty, and Cheever. Presenting all of Still's compelling and varied short stories in one volume, The Hills Remember is a testament to a master writer. This book is required reading for anyone who is 'from here' or who has embraced the Appalachian mountain regions." -- Thomas Crowe, Now & Then" --, "In a long-ago conversation James Still said to me, 'You must read Daudet -- he can pierce your heart in a single line.' I nodded, thinking I could name another writer who had such skill, remembering the haunting lilt and ache of his poems and how each chapter of River of Earth left me breathless, struck by the power of simple lines that went straight to the heart without a trace of sentimentality. Later, when Still read 'The Nest' to one of my writing classes at Carson-Newman College, I had the profound pleasure of watching the mesmerizing effect of his words transform that class into a community of listeners united by a shared, unforgettable experience. And that's what this collection of James Still's stories can do for a new generation of readers -- lead them into an awareness of the range and depth of human experience through an artistry of language. This collection reaffirms what so many of us have known for years -- James Still is a master of the short story, his work a national treasure." -- Jeff Daniel Marion, author of The Hills Remember, ""In his stories drawn from local life and speech in the Kentucky mountains, James Still finds timeless beauty and universal meaning." -Gurney Norman, former Kentucky poet laureate and author of Kinfolks: The Wilgus Stories" --, Still's style and narrative quality should warrant him a place among the great Southern storytellers., ""In this landmark book, Ted Olson favorably compares Still's short fiction to the work of Poe, Hawthorne, Hemingway, Welty, and Cheever. Presenting all of Still's compelling and varied short stories in one volume, The Hills Remember is a testament to a master writer. This book is required reading for anyone who is 'from here' or who has embraced the Appalachian mountain regions." -- Thomas Crowe, Now & Then " --, "James Still chopped a path through the literary landscape that Appalachian writers continue to follow. He gave the land and culture a vivid life on the page, using language of such quality that it set a standard for all the writers from the hills. Mr. Still is more than the master. He is our grandfather, our great-grandfather, our godfather -- the revered elder of the tribe of Appalachian writers. Here is a sentence he wrote: 'We went on, not stopping or speaking until we saw our hill standing apart from all the others.' These words readily describe James Still's work. If each published book is viewed as a hill in the geography of literature, his stories will forever stand apart from all the others." -- Chris Offutt, Author of Kentucky Straight, "In a long-ago conversation James Still said to me, 'You must read Daudet -- he can pierce your heart in a single line.'
