Indigo by Alice Hoffman7/4/2023 ![]() ![]() Some things in between include an autobiographical piece about growing up in the segregated and newly integrated South and tributes to writers Powell has known, among them Donald Barthelme, who changed the aesthetic of short fiction in America for the second half of the twentieth century, and Peter Taylor, who briefly lived in Gainesville, Florida, where Powell taught for thirty-five years. Gathering pieces written during the past three decades, Indigo ranges widely in subject matter and tone, opening with Cleve Dean, which takes Padgett Powell to Sweden for the World Armwrestling Federation Championships, through to its closing title piece, which charts Powell's lifelong fascination with the endangered indigo snake, a thinking snake, and his obsession with seeing one in the wild. The first collection of nonfiction by one of the few truly important American writers of our time (Sam Lipsyte). This Description may be from another edition of this product. ![]()
