While the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christ-haunted. The Southerner who isn't convinced of it is very much afraid that he may have been formed in the image and likeness of God.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuided by O'Connor's perceptive commentary about southerners in general, Susan Ketchin has created a deeply revealing collection that mirrors the pervasive role of religion in the literature by the recent generation of notable southern writers. Ketchin confirms that \"old-time religion\" remains a potent force in the literature of the contemporary South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Ketchin, a writer, editor, and musician, lives in Orange County, North Carolina.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112991899888,"sku":"9781604736816","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781604736816_p0.jpg?v=1763829133","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781604736816","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
