Clyde Edgerton Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

    Clyde Edgerton è celebrato come un romanziere di spicco della tradizione letteraria del Sud, spesso paragonato a maestri come Eudora Welty e Flannery O'Connor. Sebbene le sue narrazioni affrontino spesso temi adulti come il matrimonio, l'invecchiamento, la nascita e la morte, sono profondamente incentrate sulla famiglia. Attraverso un cast di personaggi adorabili ed eccentrici, Edgerton esplora le complessità della vita familiare. I suoi personaggi, dotati di numerose difetti accanto a considerevoli virtù, risultano così simpatici da invitare alla condivisione di caffè, torta e conversazione. Edgerton, cresciuto nel Piedmont della North Carolina, attinge nei suoi romanzi dall'eredità narrativa del Sud rurale, dove le storie familiari erano una forma vitale di connessione e intrattenimento.
