Delta Pearls
by Judith Bader Jones
Sweetgum
Press, 2006
Delta Pearls is a
collection of short fiction set in the Missouri Delta, where
the setting itself is in its own right a storyteller.
"In a world where technological
innovation and mass media are homogenizing American English,
Judith Bader Jones preserves the beauty of the vernacular
language distinctive to the Missouri Delta—that 'mosquito
infested backdrop of civilization'—and captures the heart of
people in the process of loving and losing, being and
becoming." —the editors.

A Near Perfect Gift
by R. M. Kinder
University of Michigan Press, 2005
Related stories set in the Bootheel of
Missouri, where the landscape is magical, life is tough, and
heroism is common.
“The stories of R. M. Kinder’s A Near
Perfect Gift are ordinary in that they are rooted in the
mundane reality of a rural small town, but extraordinary in
what they writing from that unexceptional situation.
There’s a taste of Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg here,
and more than a touch of his passionate insight.”
Madison Smartt Bell, author of Anything Goes and The
Stone That the Builder Refused.
