Set mostly in Nashville and Memphis amid Taylor's fictional genteel Tennessee society, these tales belie serene manners and lovely neighborhoods with undercurrents of irony, violence, disgrace, sexual transgressions, and generational divide. Often shadowing male despair in the modern world, they describe the power of unleashed passion once the restraint of custom has given away. 220259 1977 In the Miro District and Other Stories (Voices of the South) total:10|5:8|4:1|3:1| 10 47 13 1 5 0 false false Wed Aug 05 18:40:50 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 14:14:32 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jul 22 13:12:11 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 13:12:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 15 12:24:38 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 12:24:47 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jul 14 14:47:16 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 14:47:16 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun May 31 19:12:01 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 19:12:01 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Apr 14 04:35:23 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 04:35:23 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jun 04 06:15:55 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 04 06:15:55 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2001 Wed May 21 11:00:13 -0700 2008 Sun Dec 28 09:14:01 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Apr 19 20:37:03 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 20:37:03 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Sat Jan 12 12:29:07 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 12 12:29:18 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Dec 25 17:09:39 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 25 17:09:39 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Thu Oct 04 10:47:48 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 04 10:47:48 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Mon Oct 01 07:51:40 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 01 07:51:40 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=227389
