William Styron described this Mississippi native as "one of the most consistently exciting writers of the post-Faulkner generation." Barry Hannah, author of Captain Maximus, Geronimo Rex, Hey Jack!, and High Lonesome, is a recipient of the Robert Penn Warren Lifetime Achievement Award in Fiction and the Faulkner Foundation Award. He talks about growing up in the South, the beautiful and honest people he loves meeting as a writer and about his excitement about working with his favorite magazine, Esquire, and about winning his first award.
