Description and Table of Contents
Description
Voices from the Quarters is an interpretive, analytical, and evaluative study of all of Earnest J. Gaines' published work to date. It begins with a brief biographical treatment of Gaines and the Louisiana setting where he grew up, with stress on facts that relate closely to his writing. The book then analyzes his short stories and moves on to study his novels. A concluding chapter sums up the main points, which have to do with Gaines' strengths as a creator of "sketches," "little short chapters," and "tales and the voices of tellers" as the characteristic and unique elements of his success as a writer of both stories and novels.
