TALLAPOOSA: A Southern Novel
()
About this ebook
“Tallapoosa yields up a gratifying mix of history, drama, and good old-fashioned character-based story telling. The novel’s people manage against all odds to remain good and humane in the battle against wicked institutions and in the face of apparently insurmountable odds. A moving narrative about the struggle to do good in a fallen world. Pinkney Benedict, author of Miricle Boy and Other Stories.
With searing honesty and through unforgettable characters, in Tallapoosa, Corwin lays bare the struggle for the Southern soul in its darkest—and most hopeful—hours. Pat McKee, author of Ariel’s Island, winner of the National Indie Excellence Award.
Thomas Corwin
I was born in Mobile, Alabama in 1942. I graduated from Tulane University on a Navy scholarship and spent five years on active-duty teaching physics at the Naval Nuclear Power School. After receiving a Ph.D. in physics from Georgia Tech, I taught Physics and Astronomy at UNC Charlotte for almost 40 years, retiring in 2014. After retiring, I began writing fiction and earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Queens University. In November 2020, my thesis, Tallapoosa: A Southern Novel, was published by SFK Publishing. My second book of fiction, The Art of Dying and other stories. I have published eleven books all together. I have recently begun oil painting. Some of my work can be seen on mikecorwinart.com
