Review Quotes: Southern Writers on Writing, a new anthology of essays edited by Susan Cushman, is not the first attempt to plumb the depths of what it means, as Faulkner wrote, to 'tell about the South.' But it is distinguished by a division into helpful categories and the presence of diverse voices.-- "Chapter 16"
