Barb Johnson - More of This World or Maybe Another

Start: 11/05/2009 7:00 pm

More of This World or Maybe Another is a collection of award-winning short fiction about four outsiders whose unruly lives intersect on the back streets of New Orleans from writer Barb Johnson. Living amid poverty and violence, these fragile heroes of the American underclass redefine our notions of family, redemption and love. A self-described "middle-aged lesbian ex-nun carpenter," Johnson shares her world--one that is equal parts violence, boredom, and sorrow--with a nod to Southern Gothic tradition, yet with a lightness in prose that makes her accessible to readers of commercial and literary fiction alike.
