Southern Series

NPR's David Molpus profiles short story writer George Singleton as part of Morning Edition's series on emerging Southern Artists. Singleton writes about the absurd and the grotesque...and finds plenty of inspiration in rural Dacusville, South Carolina, where he lives. His work includes a story about love at the local recycling center, a directive on how to collect fishing lures at the local flea market, and an examination of how a first marriage went sour because the husband went a little crazy caulking the house.
