Questo autore è rinomato per aver reso popolare il genere della tradizione delle piantagioni nella letteratura del Sud, che descrive una visione idealizzata della vita precedente alla Guerra Civile. Le sue opere spesso ritraggono scene idilliache con persone schiavizzate apparentemente contente che lavorano per padroni amati e le loro famiglie. Attraverso le sue raccolte di racconti, cattura magistralmente l'atmosfera e lo stile dell'epoca, concentrandosi sulla reminiscenza nostalgica e sulle immagini idealizzate del passato. La sua scrittura offre così uno sguardo unico su una specifica tradizione letteraria che cercava di preservare la memoria del Sud antebellico.
