About the Author
Reynolds Price, a distinguished Southern American author born in 1933 in Macon, North Carolina, crafted a literary legacy spanning over five decades with his profound explorations of human emotion, family dynamics, and the intricate landscapes of the American South. Educated at Duke University and Merton College, Oxford, Price's career as a novelist, short story writer, and essayist was marked by his lyrical prose and unflinching gaze into the complexities of love, loss, and redemption. His debut novel, A Long and Happy Life, garnered the William Faulkner Foundation Award and established him as a vital voice in Southern literature, while his later works delved into memoir and biblical retellings, reflecting his personal triumphs over cancer and his deep-rooted faith. Price's contributions to education as a longtime professor at Duke University further cemented his influence, inspiring generations of writers until his passing in 2011.
