Two of his novels, \u003ci\u003eJoe and Father and Son\u003c\/i\u003e, won the Southern Book Critics Circle Award for fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrown wrote with compassion, humor, and unflinching honesty about the struggles of rural and small-town working-class southerners. Twenty-nine years old when his writing career began, Brown's plainspoken style, sharp eye for detail, and keen ear for dialogue quickly established him as one of the most respected and compelling new voices in contemporary southern literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eConversations with Larry Brown\u003c\/i\u003e brings together interviews Brown gave between 1988 and 2004. The collection includes interview material from a full-length film documentary about Brown's life and work as well as two previously unpublished pieces. Across these conversations, Brown offers insights into all of his books and several of his short stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay Watson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1578069505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781578069507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 6.06w x 0.67d","brand":"Jay Watson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46825804497151,"sku":"9781578069507","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eea3f4a3-5426-487d-be30-752280ca8afc.jpg?v=1746073672","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conversations-with-larry-brown-jay-watson-9781578069507","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
