Novel Set In Davidson County By Robert Marks
The article reviews Chris Ferguson's first novel The Melting Season set in Davidson County North Carolina with Butch Harris as narrator. It notes Ferguson's background, the book’s vivid Piedmont countryside, and contrasts its credible childhood scenes with less convincing adult elements. It also surveys other North Carolina literary notes including Grace Paley essays and a reprint of Battle’s History at UNC.
