This memoir-in-stories invites the reader to move beyond stereotypes to experience the scenes, characters, and community of the author's childhood and formative years, intersecting with the regional folktales and mythologies that fired his imagination. It is not only a fascinating window into an Appalachian community in the middle of the twentieth century but also an insightful reminder of who that community is today, in spite of the external changes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing an introduction by documentarian Neal Hutcheson, this book is a moving, often funny, collection by a talented storyteller who cuts through cliche and sanctimony with his powerful words. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Carden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469681579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469681573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Gary Carden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45332046840063,"sku":"9781469681573","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d83b7669-2724-4dbe-8aa0-328256f7f3df.jpg?v=1713971597","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stories-i-lived-to-tell-gary-carden-9781469681573","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
