Overview

Spotswood, Virginia takes place in the racially divisive mid-twentieth century south and includes mob violence, political cowardice, family conflict and mental illness; however, the focus of the collection is on ordinary people forced to make decisions in a morally confused, deeply divided world. In "Memorial Mansion," a politically naive librarian is caught between her empathy for a black teacher and her deep love for her racist son. An ambitious politician in "Massive Resistance" strives to convince himself and his family that his conservative politics will somehow redeem the racist south. In "Dirty Dora," an academically backward young girl is sent to reform school for dancing with a black man. A love-sick paper boy in "Going Under" tries to save a sexually provocative high school girl by bringing her to God. A tour de force collection in the vein of Faulkner and O'Connor, Spotswood Virginia is sure to please. "The beauty of Spotswood, Virginia, has two qualities. The first is its literary skill, which in its restraint and power seems like Raymond Carver. The second part is its ethics. Nancy Bourne is an uncompromising and moral witness to outrages that still resonate in the life of Americans. The voice here is one of dignified fury, of keen understanding, and of the most haunting attempt to suggest that this voice will face anything and to write about the things seen with bravery, skill and honor." - Craig Nova, author of The Good Son and The Constant Heart.
