Poore states in his introduction, "The stories and the novels together [here] represent a body of work that has changed the course of storytelling and given new cadence to the language. They are not gathered here, though, to illustrate academic principles or to pepper elegies. They are alive, a part of experience that tells us more vividly that any causal actuality ever can, where men and women have been, and what they have done and left undone in this brightest and bloodiest of centuries."
