Bobbie ann mason
เนื้อเรื่อง
She born May 1 , 1940 , near mayfield kentucky. BORN: May 1, 1940, near Mayfield, Kentucky IDENTIFICATION: chronicle the people and culture of the American South. Bobbie Ann Mason portrays rural and suburban southerners caught between the disappearance of tradition and the onslaught of modern popular culture. The characters in her short story collections Shiloh and other Stories, Love Life, and Zigzagging down a Wild Trail are victims of culture shock who look for mean- ing in life but are troubled by drugs and divorce. In Country, a novel about a young Kentucky girl trying to make sense of her fathers death in the Vietnam War, is a significant contribution to the liter- ature of that American trauma. Feather Crowns is a richly detailed historical novel set in the early 1900s in western Kentucky. Mason's work is distinguished by a strong feminine voice and often focuses on maternal themes.
