Columbia: University of Missouri Press, (1990) dj. Hardcover first edition - While Corrington wrote novels, including mysteries, poetry, screenplays and more, he was probably at his best in his short fiction. This comprehensive collection includes stories from "The Lonesome Traveler" (1968), including the title story which gives an unexpected twist to the account of a young reporter, only weeks out of Princeton, sent to get a story on an expected lynching; "The Actes and Monuments" (1978) and "The Southern Reporter" (1981), and the previously uncollected "Heroic Measures/Vital Signs" (1986) - all concerned with the contradictions and colors of Southerners, whether featuring a Creole woman in 1864 New Orleans or a 1970s washed-up country singer. Edited by Joyce Corrington, his wife (and co-author on many of their books); introduction by William Mills. Original publication information. 515 pp. ISBN: 0-826207537.
