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.”

This series first appeared in the 21c Fiction issue (vol. 22, no. 3: Fall 2016). Join us on November 18, 2016 in Southern Cultures‘s Back Wing gallery for a pop-up art show of “Lesser-Known 21-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.
