A Jesse Stuart Reader

Jesse Stuart Reader provides a sampling of all three literary forms used by Jesse Stuart: the short story (eighteen stories); the biography (selections from God’s Oddling, The Thread that Runs So True, and The Year of My Rebirth) and poetry (twenty-six poems). The book includes Stuart’s especially prepared introduction to each of the stories, as well as to the biographies and poetry section. The book provides the reader with a good introduction to the author and gives a flavor of Stuart’s writing and the range of his artistic endeavors.
