{"product_id":"the-christ-haunted-landscape-susan-ketchin-9780878056705","title":"The Christ-Haunted Landscape: Faith and Doubt in Southern Fiction","description":"Here are Susan Ketchin's discerning interviews with twelve southerners living and writing in the South, and along with a piece of fiction by each are her penetrating commentaries about the impact of southern religious experience on their work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A little more than a generation ago Flannery O'Connor made a startling observation about herself and her fellow southerners: \"By and large,\" she said, \"people in the South still conceive of humanity in theological terms. While the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christ-haunted. The southerner who isn't convinced of it is very much afraid that he may have been formed in the image and likeness of God.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Guided by O'Connor's perceptive commentary about southerners in general, Susan Ketchin has created a deeply revealing collection that mirrors the pervasive role of religion in the literature by the recent generation of notable southern writers. Ketchin confirms that \"old-time religion\" remains a potent force in the literature of the contemporary South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Ketchin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 087805670X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878056705\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\/03\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.23d","brand":"Susan Ketchin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054804168959,"sku":"9780878056705","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f4addbcf-d04d-41f6-94ee-e5095bd5400a.jpg?v=1685032092","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-christ-haunted-landscape-susan-ketchin-9780878056705","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
