The Old Forest and Other Stories
This collection gathers 14 of Taylor's short stories. Set in his native South between the two world wars, these tales of domestic life explore the extraordinary world of manners, expectations and unspoken understandings. They reveal not only Taylor's emotional depth and power of observation but also his understanding of the social and economic peculiarities of the American South in the years before racial integration.
