Vol. 22, No. 3: 21c Fiction Issue

Lesser-Known 21st-Century Southern Writers

by Daniel Wallace

For our 21c Fiction Issue, we consulted crackerjack writer, illustrator, and sleuth Daniel Wallace. The Big Fish traipsed around the Smoky Mountains and a hole somewhere in Alabama, and consulted with a cat named Eudora Welty and a writerly dog named Jake to create for us these “Lesser-Known 21st-Century Southern Writers.”

Daniel Wallace (b. 1959). Briefly famous as a younger man, in his later years carried a live fish around with him (tilapia) just to remind people who he was.
